Pride is coming in June in most cities. Oklahoma City is coming back hardcore this year with the Pointer Sisters as the headliner. Oklahoma City has been behind when it comes to pride in recent years with a major mishandling of changing the date the parade runs on to a Friday following rush hour one year to changes to the Festival. We think this year will be their year to make a big comeback. The Pride Block party will take place at 9:30pm until 2am, Friday, June, 24. There will be a suggested donation of $10 to help support the GLBT Health Center. The Festival will go on throughout the weekend and the Parade will take place around 6pm Sunday, June 26, 2011. There is no word yet on the T-Dance at Angles but we can expect the Copa will be ready for the after-parade celebration and the mouth numbing drinks at Tramp’s. We are excited to see the Pointer Sisters performing at the OKC Pride this year and hope it is a huge success!
