Florida Agenda

ORLANDO, FL – “Come Out with Pride,” Orlando’s annual gay pride celebration, has been rescheduled for Sunday, November 13. “Come Out with Pride” was originally scheduled for Saturday, October 8, but it was cancelled due to inclement weather. The rescheduling is being referred to as “Come Out with Pride – Take Two.” Pride officials said that November 13 was the first available date for the planned Lake Eola Park site.

The bad weather, due to a tropical depression over Central Florida that weekend, produced nineteen hours of heavy wind and rain during that weekend and the Orlando pride organization decided to postpone the event to a later date instead of a total cancellation.
Other official pride events are being rescheduled, such as the Official Pride Brunch, around the new date. Disney is also back on board for a second shot. According to a written statement by Orlando Pride officials: “Please remember that sponsors and vendors alike spend hundreds and thousands of dollars to mobilize units, staff and in the case of Disney, huge audio equipment for our event.

The fact that all have agreed to come back to Pride on November 13 is a testament to their dedication to our community, our cause and our celebration!”

However, in another statement, Orlando Pride wrote: “We have a challenge for you. By having to cancel the event on Saturday October 8 (and to re-schedule it to November 13), we have incurred over $15,000 of expenses. While some vendors will be assisting us by reducing or even waiving their costs for TAKE TWO, others are unable to do so and bills are due regardless. Event insurance only covers so much (and is another high expense we can’t get our money back for). SO WE NEED YOUR HELP! If each one of our fans was to give ONLY $2 (less than a cup of coffee or an ATM fee or a toll), we would be all set! We are working on fundraisers but we need your help now!”
