This is NativeOUT's entry in the 2008 Phoenix Pride Parade. The theme was "The Celebration Starts Here". Thank you to all who came together to make the Phoenix Native LGBTQ/Two-Spirit community float. Thank you to the Two-Spirit Society of Denver for coming to march with us.
The Phoenix Pride Parade's Theme this year is the "Celebration Starts Here". Celebrating our past, present, and future is what our Native LGBT community will be presenting at this year's Phoenix Pride Parade. Enormous rainbow flags will be sailing across the pavement, dancers and members will be dressed in traditional regalia...clouds will be floating with streaming glistening raindrops. The float will be a Native-inspired rainbow celebrating our culture with posters of our past Two-Spirit ancestors, ending with dark purple streams for remembrance of Native LGBTs that have passed on due to hate crimes. Come and be a part of Pride this year & help your local Native LGBT Organization, NativeOUT, show the colors of our Native rainbow to the valley.
If you are interested in marching with NativeOUT in the Phoenix Pride Parade on April 12, 2008 from 11am-1pm, please contact our Events Coordinator Terra at
