(July 19, 2003) A dynamic, upbeat Pride Parade and Festival, Cirque La Gay, drew a crowd of 10,000 as members of the GBLT community fearlessly showcased the complexity of human potential.
The parade from East Ave. to Manhattan Square Park featured 54 organizations, 800 people, from Rochester, Buffalo, Toronto, Washington, DC, and Florida, noted founder and organizer David Kosel. We started eight years ago with a Gay Pride March. The events today have taken gay pride from a one-day event to a week-long celebration. Rochester Pride Week 2003 offered interfaith services, athletics, films, and social events.
