Cleveland Pride group gets
strong donation response
Cleveland Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Pride, Inc., which organizes the local Pride Day March and Festival, has reported a very enthusiastic response to its fundraising mailings. Advance fundraising is of greater concern this year because the festival has no admission charge, as it has in the past.
This year, for the first time, the Pride Festival will be held downtown on Public Square, in the northwest quadrant, on Saturday, June 19. For the preceding four years it was held on West 29th and Church Streets, near the Center. The more public location and visibility has been a source a debate among many in the community, and several habitual participants and performers withdrew from the event because of the increased exposure.
"The board felt that it was time Cleveland have its Pride day like most other cities, with its festival in an open, public place. The whole point is to accept and celebrate who we are and come out of the closet. People need to see and be aware of lesbians and gay men," said Nancy Logan, board president.
But would the fears and no-shows of closeted people be so widespread that the event could not go forward? The board had set two financial milestone goals, both of which were met. The enthusiastic financial response from people who received mail solicitations, especially right after the March on Washington, has been "very good," according to treasurer Jay Ruffner.
In past years, one-third to one-half of Pride's expenses were covered by the admission charge to the festival; this year, because of the permit regulations for using Public Square, organizers decided on free admission. Thus, many expenses must be covered by up-front donations in addition to the regular fees for booths.
The times of the March and the Festival had to be adjusted to meet police requirements because of that day's Cleveland Indians game. Marchers now will assemble on East 22nd Street next to Trinity Cathedral and step off onto Euclid Avenue at 10:30 am. The speeches highlighting the March demands will be given at the end of the route, in Public Square.
People can enter the Festival area from
11 am to 4 pm. While the entertainment schedule is still being established, the commitment ceremony is set for 2 pm. Political speakers, entertainers and dance music will be heard throughout the afternoon.
The remaining Pride committee meeting dates are May 24, June 7 and June 14; all at 7:30 pm at the Chronicle offices. Volunteers are still needed, especially for the day of the event. If you would like to help out, or are interested in buying a booth, call 621-5280 during the day.
The Gay People's Chronicle is publishing its annual Pride Guide on May 28, which will contain information about the Festival and other Pride events. It will be available wherever the Chronicle is.
ACT UP scolds
Clinton at
speech here
About a dozen protesters from ACT UP Cleveland were on hand May 10 across the street from the Statler Hotel in downtown Cleveland as President Clinton arrived to speak about his economic proposals at a special City Club Forum.
Just before noon, as the limousine passed by and entered the hotel garage, the demonstrators held signs demanding more attention to AIDS from the administration, blew whistles, and chanted "Act Up, Bill!" and "People are dying. Clinton is lying. AIDS won't wait." as spectators looked on.
During the forum, a man asked the president whether his stance has changed on gays in the military. Clinton stressed that he and the armed services are in agreement that the only debate is a narrow category about persons being able to respond truthfully if asked about their homosexuality. He said he is not seeking to change the Code of Military Conduct, or trying to "embrace or elevate a lifestyle." Since thousands have served with distinction, he said, he still supports the change in policy and hopes that his position will prevail.
