Vancouver Pride 2010 Coverage

A few days ago, I asked on Twitter whether people expected me to cover Vancouver Pride 2010. I absolutely loved Pride 2007, when I was joined by some of my best and closest friends. I missed Pride 2008 as I was in Mexico for the summer, and last year was fun (I joined the celebrations with Gus and Russ for a few hours and had brunch at Karen Parker’s). But I wasn’t sure whether I’d be doing much coverage of Pride this year. I have been overwhelmed all year (teaching 4 courses from January to April 2010 was exhausting, and keeping on top of my research and my social media, and my consulting). But I was also privileged to be able to do some of the unique coverage of Pride and GLBT events, including Pride House in Vancouver for the Vancouver 2010.

I now have a much larger and broader readership than I had in 2008 and 2009. I am substantially more connected to the online community that covers GLBT issues (including Sean Horlor for Xtra West, Gay Vancouver, V-Rag Magazine, Qmunity, PINQ and Homorazzi, etc.) I don’t see my blog as much as an “all-things Vancouver” blog, but I can see how people would appreciate that coverage. So, I will have to contact some of the people who do the PR for Vancouver Pride to get media access to the events.

The first event that kicks off the 2010 celebration of Vancouver Pride is East Side Pride tomorrow June 26th starting at 11am. I will probably drop by with my Mom, who is visiting town. To check the full listing you can check the Pride website events listing.
