Dayton Gay Pride 2008 June 6, 2008

"Celebrate 2008 - It's About Freedom" is the slogan for Dayton's Gay Pride Celebration.

You, your family & friends are invited to the Parade and Pride Fest on June 7 and the Pride Dinner on June 21.

The Dayton Pride Partnership is sponsoring its second annual same-gender commitment ceremony at the Pride Fest. It will begin shortly after noon on the stage at Courthouse Square. A group of local clergy will perform the ceremony led by the pastor from Eternal Joy MCC, Rev. Mark Pridmore. Rev. Pridmore said: "This symbolic wedding ceremony is one of the ways we hope to stand up and really show our community we must: "Celebrate 2008 - It's About Freedom".

The Pride Fest will be a whole day of fun, food, friends enjoying regional and local entertainment to follow the wedding ceremony. Several local performers will perform throughout day. Vendors may have items for sale; receive important information from area non-profits and centers of Faith.
