Big Island GLBT Pride Festival Announced for July in Kona
Kailua Kona, HI, May 25, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Announcing the 2012 Big Island Pride Festival, Sunday July 22nd from 10:00AM - 2:00PM at Kamakahonu Beach/Ahu’ena Heiau (the Luau Grounds of Courtyard at King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel).
After an absence of several years this island-wide event once again brings together the Big Island of Hawaii’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Questioning people and those who love and support them.
“I am thrilled that we have been able to pull this off this year,” said event coordinator Blake Howell, “We have some fun activities planned and a fantastic location to gather on Sunday for the big event!” The event, scheduled for the beautiful Luau Grounds at Courtyard at King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel, will feature vendors, a cash bar, music, and beach and water activities. A Saturday Night Drag show and Dance Party kick off the festivities.
Gay Pride is the positive stance against discrimination and violence toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people to promote their self-affirmation, increase their visibility as a social group, build community, and celebrate sexual diversity and gender variance. Pride, as opposed to shame and social stigma, is the predominant outlook that bolsters most LGBT rights movements throughout the world.
