Beyond the Rainbow

More than a flag, more than a parade, more- even – than a protest.  Pride is about living authentically, truthfully,  loudly and proudly!  We’ve gone over, under and through, but now it’s time to go beyond the rainbow! We want to see some demure and demented Dorothy realness.  Turn up as a twisted Tin-Man, Surly Scarecrow and get WICKED. Or just come representing the most authentic you you can be. We’re moving beyond and we’re ready to party. Who’s coming with us?!
