History
For the last forty years, the last weekend of June has marked an important history for the GLBT community. Hundreds of thousands of people take to the streets every year to celebrate our right to express sexual orientation and gender identity in a safe and accepting environment.
Letter from the Executive Director
In 2009, St. Pete Pride celebrated and remembered the Stonewall Riots of 1969. A lot has changed in over 40 years. Today gay and lesbian couples can legally wed in 5 states and domestic partnerships or civil unions are an available alternative in a handful of others. We are probably more visible in our communities and nationwide than we have ever been. Over 80,000 people attend St. Pete Pride and our city is home to an array of international visitors year round. We have made great strides in having our families recognized locally and nationwide and we have witnessed the continued fight for adoption equality in our own backyard.
