N Pride 1997 Coverage continues!

Continued from Page 8

Tables were set up for
vendors and area organizers
under the tents. The Peace and
Justice Center was there, selling
Xena posters among other things,
alongside Hopes World, VT
Bisexual Network, Phoenix
Rising, Men’s Health Project,
Outright Vermont, Rainbow
Business Association, Out In The
Mountains, Vermont N.O.W. and
Vermont Coalition for Lesbian
and Gay Rights.

Local businesses also got
into the spirit of Pride. There was
a Pride display in the window of
Chassman and Bem. Leunig’s
staff were pride flag stickers. Ben
and Jerry’s arranged to make
donations from milkshake sales
to Vermont Cares and had a
donation table in their Church

Street store. Magic Hat donated
beer to the Queen City Pride
Dance—all proceeds from beer
sales were donated to Vermont
Cares, as well.

At the Pride Dance, held in
Memorial Annex, Rebecca
Simone teamed with the Orange
Factory for an impressive R&B/
funk tour de force. Chin Ho! also
played, and I felt like I was in
high school again, watching my
best friend’s brother’s band play
in the teen center. Who thought
we’d have either a well-
produced, professional caliber

‘ live R&B outfit or a queer-punk

band poised to break nationally
here in our community in
Burlington, Vemtont?

After Chin Ho! ended their
set with a rendition of the Julie

Brown classic of “Johnny Are
You Queer,” I headed over to the
Pearl with friends. The tent was
dead, but a lot of folks were
milling around
nonetheless. Inside, the house
was packed.

Many of the local celebrities
were on hand: the beautiful and
talented Rebecca Simone, Bob
Bolyard in high style pride boots,
and DJ Little Martin and Craig
Mitchell both in the DJ booth.
Heck, even straight people who
work in my office were at Pearls!

A number of folks attended
both the Pride Dance at
Memorial Annex and the Pride
Party at 135 Pearl. To see so
m_any people intentionally
supporting both events was nice,
especially since the Memorial

For some, Pride lasted well
into the morning on Sunday. I
was lucky enough to get invited
to my first after—hours party of the
year where I cavorted with new

‘ friends and some lovely girls who

work at Church Street Tavern.

For me, Pride was equal
parts politics and fun, Pride gave
me a sense of community that I
haven’t experienced since
moving here almost a year ago.
I’m sure there were a heck of a
lot more people integrally
involved in Pride than are
mentioned here. I’m sorry for
any omissions, and would like to
personally thank everyone
involved in making GLBT Pride
I997 a rewarding experience for
so many this year.
