Friends,

Albuquerque Pride 2010 is officially over, and what a success it was!  Thank you to our participants sponsors, local businesses, bars, and nightclubs.  It is through your giving nature Albuquerque Pride continues its work for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Community.

To those of you that signed the “Pride United” pledge, I thank you. We are a much stronger, more unified community because of it.  Together, and only together we will overcome any prejudice, and hate that still exists in communities across the country.  Together we are a community that uplifts each other, and looks beyond our differences and misunderstandings.  I am proud to be a gay man living in Bernalillo County and the great City of Albuquerque!

For the last 34 years the all volunteer Albuquerque Pride Board has been bringing you the largest GLBT event in the state of New Mexico! From an event down central that ended at Morning Side Park to our current location at the New Mexico State Fair Grounds.  Albuquerque Pride will continue to grow and be around for the next 34 years!

Albuquerque Pride 2011 is set for June 9 – 11!  Along with members of the board, I am heading out on a GLBT Organizations, Bar, & Business tour. It is our intention to create partnerships, to listen, and to grow Albuquerque Pride together with input from the community.  If you would like me or members of the board to visit your organization or place of business please email me at jesse.lopez@abqpride.com.  I look forward to meeting with each of you!

Together In Pride,
