‘To Thrive, Not Just Survive’: Spokane Pride Parade and Rainbow Festival enjoys record-breaking crowds
Record-breaking crowds flocked to the Spokane Pride Celebration and Rainbow Festival in Spokane on Saturday.
“I’m hearing estimates of 24,000 people,” said Steven Herevia, Spokane Pride coordinator. “The collective spirit here is so alive.”
More than 100 groups signed up to be in the parade this year with 1,500 people marching, according to Michael Jepson, OutSpokane’s parade coordinator.
The event received fewer protests than in previous years. No more than five people stood in the parade’s designated activism area, across from the Riverfront Park fountain.
Parade participants included employees of companies such as Sephora, Starbucks, Nordstrom and Pemco Insurance.
Ondria Roberson brought her children to saunter with her Pemco colleagues this year.
They donned matching shirts, held signs and posed for photos.
“They’ll remember this experience,” said Roberson of her decision to bring her children to the march.
If her children close up being a part of the LGBTQ+ group, Roberson said she hopes they feel that they can talk to her.

Yankees set to be only MLB team not to host LGBTQ Pride Night
When the New York Mets held their first LGBTQ Pride Night in August 2016, fans waved rainbow flags in the stadium, the Lesbian and Male lover Big Apple Corps Marching Band performed, Citi Field’s giant Coca-Cola sign was lit up in rainbow colors and the Touch Cam caught several homosexual smooches throughout the game. In keeping with tradition, the team honored a veteran at the game, and for that first Pride Night, the Mets honored a gay Army vet.
Nearly two years later, however, the Mets’ hometown rivals — the Modern York Yankees — acquire yet to host a Pride Night of their own, In fact, the Yankees are currently the only Major League Baseball team that has neither had a Pride Darkness nor has one scheduled.
When the Los Angeles Angels announced earlier this week their plans to host an LGBTQ-themed night in June 2019, the Yankees were left as the lone Pride Night holdout among the MLB’s 30 teams.
“It's going to be real hard to observe in the mirror and see themselves as the only team in Major League Baseball that is not holding a Self-acceptance Night,” said David Kilmnick, CEO of the LGBT Network, a New York-based nonprofit.

Pride Month – acknowledged in June – is working its way into our social fabric – truly becoming legit. We pretty much know that is the case when major sports teams and venues promote and celebrate this long-in-coming acknowledgement of lesbian, gay, fluid, transgender and gay communities.
Major League Baseball teams like the Seattle Mariners may view their judgment to promote the LGBTQ communities as a great marketing opportunity to tempt new fans, but it also represents a turn of the switch in society in general. During the entire month of June, the Mariners are celebrating Pride Month with announcements, particular events, giveaways, and colors. Rather than the traditional Mariners blue and grassy colors, you normally see at T-Mobile Park, you’ll see the scoreboards and signs emblazoned with rainbow colors, standing for the LGBTQ movement.
To the uninitiated, Event Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York City and celebrates the LGBTQ society and the combat for equal rights. The Stonewall Uprising began on June 28, 19
