Brooklyn Pride’s 13th Annual Pride Celebration
Saturday June 13, 2009
Prospect Park
Bartel-Pritchard Circle
15th St & Bartel Pritchard Square New
York, New York
The annual Brooklyn Pride is a colorful and very important LGBT celebration,
but on a much smaller and friendlier scale than the mother of them all across
the East River. The Brooklyn Pride Committee seeks to create a new bridge, whereby
local Queer people, organizations, businesses, friends and supporters of equal
human rights can come together in solidarity and celebration and bring visibility
to the multicultural Brooklyn LGBT community. Whereas the NYC Pride march heads
down swanky Fifth Avenue (the main artery of Manhattan and the host of the city's
wealthiest shops), the Brooklyn version is much more laid-back - no glitz or
polish, just a good vibe. There are a number of associated events including a
Interfaith Service, Pride in the Park, Pride Reception at Borough Hall, 10K Run,
Multicultural Festival, Kids Space, Night Pride Parade and Official After Pride
Party. Website: http://www.brooklynpride.org/
