Starting August 5th through th 9th, is Windsor's Pride week celebration. A bigger turnout is expected this year from the great support Winsor Pride is receiving from the rest of the city. The rainbow flag was raised at City Hall Square in ceremony to announce commencment of Pride 2009. This year's theme is dedicated to "shouting out, looking back, and moving forward." An event filled weekend is expected with Sandra Bernhard's peformance at Caesar's Windsor Friday night, following with a drag competition. Saturday includes a dance party for everyone attending the event and the weekend will conclude with the Gay Pride Parade on Sunday at noon along Campbell Ave. and Riverside Drive.
This year, Windsor has come even closer to the ongoing struggle for acceptance of gays and lesbians taking a step forard from just tolerance. “Discrimination continues, but we’re making headway. It’s not easy to be gay and that’s why we have these events.… The flag we raise today is always a symbol of equality." Throughout the remainder of the week stories will continue to appear on TeenZ Express, keep reading to find out how your Windsor will conduct Pride 2009. I will be covering the Parade as well as partaking in the events that take place this weekend. Hope you will make an appearance.
