Board members say they have worked around the clock for about four months to prepare several Pride events scheduled for this weekend.
TAMPA, Fla. — The celebrations aren’t stopping after Tampa Pride announced the organization would be taking a one-year hiatus, blaming the current political and economic climate.
Even though the official Tampa Pride event isn’t happening, a newly formed group called Pride of Tampa has stepped up to make sure the city still has a way to celebrate.
Board members say they have worked around the clock for about four months to prepare several Pride events scheduled for this weekend.
“We have done it from the ground up, and all of the people who have come together are volunteering their time,” board member KC Starrz said. “The last thing that we want is for people to feel that there’s no one out there who cares about them. We do.”
Board members say they’ve already started looking ahead at what they can plan for next year. They expect the celebration to be even bigger and better.
