Your Pride listing totally ignored the African American celebrations throughout the Country. How could you not mention Atlanta on Labor day, D.C. on memorial day, L.A. Beach party on the 4th of July, and Chicago on the 4th of July. The list goes on and on. I would hope that you would be more inclusive in the future.
Just as an FYI for LGBT North Carolinians, NC PrideFest 2010 will be held on September 25, 2010 (for the Durham - Raleigh, NC area) at Duke University East Campus, Durham, NC
