2008 Pride Parade Application

WE ARE FAMILY! - 30th Anniversary Celebration

DEADLINE MAY 1, 2008, WITH LATE FEE MAY 15, 2008

Pride Houston sponsors and produces the annual nighttime Pride Parade and the Festival to commemorate three nights of civil unrest known as the Stonewall riots. These riots occurred in late June 1969 in response to official harassment by the New York Police and are considered the birth of the movement for equal rights and liberation for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. Many communities in the U.S. and around the world hold Pride celebrations in June in memory of Stonewall.

Pride Houston welcomes all participants to the Parade and hopes to make it an enjoyable experience.
