Countdown to Pride

MySpace Comments

Gay Pride in Phoenix will be on us before we know it. In case you didn't know, Arizona launches and shuts down the Pride Season with the first pride of the country happening in Phoenix and the final pride happening in Tucson. Gay Pride in Phoenix will jump off in two weeks (April 18 & 19) and it's one of the most exciting one's I've ever wanted to attend.

So what am I looking forward to this year? Well, this year I will be walking in the parade with my men's group UGIMA (United Gay Informed Men of Arizona). We are less than a year old so this will be our first opportunity to participate. So I'm looking forward to sashaying down 3rd Street putting my pride on parade for the world to see.

Also, one of the main headliners for this year is the one and only Ms. Deborah Cox. Don't get me started - child I love me some Ms. Cox. I have every CD she's done. She is one of the best voices in the R&B game. Unfortunately I've never had a chance to see her perform live. So I'm really looking forward to seeing her on stage.

I also just found out that some of the guys from Homo Hip Hop revolution will be back in town for our weekend of rainbow festivities. Deadlee and Tori Fixx will be performing over at Plazma on that Saturday night and I there's no way I'll miss that show. Tori is one of my favorite artists ever.

There is just so much happening around town that I can't begin to list it all. Just know that I"m looking foward to what's coming. But before the weekend gets here I want to take the time to count down my favorite times celebrating with the Arizona LGBT community. Whether it's pride, protests or pageants I have some wonderful memories (and some very scary pictures) that I want to share. So each day (until Pride is upon us) I'll be counting down those memories.

So please check in each day and join me as I reminesce.
