DETROIT BLACK GAY PRIDE FESTIVAL CELEBRATES ITS 15TH ANNIVERSARY
This weekend, Detroit will play host to one of the gay community's largest Black Pride events in the country.
Hotter Than July organizers are celebrating the event's 15th anniversary, which in past years has grown to about 20,000 people flocking to Palmer Park.
The event is a celebration within the gay community, organizers and activists say, of the positive impact lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people have had on Detroit and the nation.
"Detroit really is one of the jewels in the crown" of Black Pride events, said Earl Fowlkes, president of the Washington, D.C.-based International Federation of Black Prides.
