OC LGBT Pride!

6 August 2009 by 7 Comments

I owe Orange County an apology. I made a mistake in my last post and put OC on the spot for not holding their own gay pride event. However, I was wrong, but this is a mistake that I am definitely happy to be wrong about.

OC LGBT Pride: Picnic in the Park


Saturday, August 15, 2009
12:00pm – 4:00pm
William R. Mason Regional Park
18712 University Drive
Irvine, CA

Sure, this is probably going to start small, but every great event has to start somewhere. Orange County needed this — and I, for one, am very excited to be there. I’m not quite sure exactly what to expect, but from what I gather, there will be speakers and an after party at the Steelhead Brewery. The only way to really know what this is all about is to show up, yourself.

This is a big step in the right direction for Orange County, and I hope to see you there!

    Cool…
    I wish our place also have a gay pride event. It would be so awesome if ever. The participant will surely come in fabulous and colorful dresses.
    Too bad there are a lot of conservative people here who will definitely hate it. :(
