Sarasota Pride

dsc_6603

 

The day’s weather was in question but Sarasota Pride had a great day. Misting a bit at times, but the que was set and all went well, Many vendors, entertainers and area sponsors. This year the annual Sarasota Pride group had a doubling of number of attendees. That is a great achievement. It shows that community Pride events do matter and not just in large cities.

The Sarasota theme this year “We Are Orlando” honored the 49 Pulse Nightclub Victims that were murdered in Orlando last June. Pride President Cindy Barnes and the volunteers should be congratulated for there hard efforts. Among the area honored in a moment of silence was Pulse victim Eddie Sotomayer who headed up the gay travel company in Sarasota, Al & Chuck Travel.

More exposure and a sold out sponsorship show that Sarasota and the hundreds of smaller community Prides share the communities residents with celebration and exposure..
