The Pride Week That Almost Wasn’t
It’s gay pride month, and if you were in the know about LGBTQ happenings in Hawai’i, you knew that, in February, the 2008 annual pride parade in Honolulu was slated for cancellation. That was until three very ambitious folks took the reigns and, on the fly, created the Pride Festival Foundation (PFF).
Working from coffee shops and kitchen tables, it looks like the PFF will launch The Gathering June 27th and 28th, 2008, a celebration of ohana and diversity in the community.

I'm a surfer girl and freelance writer who can't seem to get enough out of life abroad. Despite my frequent travels, my life in Hawaii (namely, my six-year old pug Iris) keeps me grounded. Here in Honolulu, buildings pop up like tourists wearing tacky aloha shirts, shops come and go like the trade winds.
