GLBT Pride/Twin Cities 2007
Tuesday 19 June @ 16:32:39 |
 
GLBT Pride/Twin Cities is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.
GLBT Pride/Twin Cities began in 1972 with a small group of activists meeting for a picnic in Minneapolis' Loring Park and then conducting a short march down Nicollet Mall. Over the intervening years, the Twin Cities Pride Celebration has grown to be the largest GLBT Pride Celebration in the region and the third largest in the United States.
Pride Month GLBT Author Reading A special Pride event at the Central Library (in Room S-280), from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 27, features some of the finest GLBT writers in the Twin Cities: Emily August, Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew, Antay Bilgutay, Catherine Friend, Andrea Jenkins, Lori Lake, John Medeiros, Kevin Moore, Juliet Patterson, Michael Seward and many others. Youth from Outward Spiral's Empowered Voices program will also present a reading. The evening begins with a gallery talk highlighting the Out @ The Library exhibition, a display that gives voice to GLBT culture and history. The San Francisco James C. Hormel Gay and Lesbian Center collection, demonstrating the historical significance of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights movement, is its centerpiece. Also on exhibit are artifacts from the Minneapolis Public Library, the Quatrefoil Library and the Tretter Collection in Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Studies at the University of Minnesota.
