PRIDE GUIDE 1997 GAY PEOPLE'S CHRONICLE
C-21
Pride events are happening around the wor
From New York City to Johannesburg, from Montevideo to Mannheim, lesbian, gay, and bisexual pride is being celebrated with parades, festivals, campouts, and rodeos.
The International Association of Lesbian-Gay Pride Coordinators, located in San Francisco, listed almost 190 Pride events worldwide as of May 20. Last year's list contained 160 events, up from 130 the year before.
Not all are in June, the traditional Pride month. Some are timed for holiday weekends such as Labor Day, others coincide with National Coming Out Day on October 11.
The international Pride theme for 1997 is "Equality Through Visibility," set by the association's members, who are Pride organizers in individual cities. The IALGPC holds its annual world conference in New York City this year, on October 17 to 19.
Below is a list of Lesbian-Gay Pride events throughout the year. ("Winter" dates-summer in the Southern Hemisphere-are in 1997 unless otherwise noted.) The IALGPC updates their list weekly, and puts it on a Web site at http://www.interpride.org.
