Pride Guide: LGBT Gay PRIDE Celebration - Seattle - June 26 to June 29, 2014

Theme: Generations of Pride

Seattle PRIDE welcomes the entire Seattle community and region for the Seattle Pride Parade, presented by T-Mobile and BECU, on June 29 at 11:00am along 4th Avenue, downtown.

Celebrating 40 Years of Seattle Pride, this year’s parade promises to be the best yet, with a long list of prominent community members and organizations participating in this year’s celebration. This year’s parade theme, Generations of Pride, aims to celebrate the history of the Northwest's LGBT rights movement and advance the ongoing progress the LGBT community has made since first coming out in 1974, the year of the inaugural Seattle Pride celebration.

The parade kicks off at 11:00am at 4th and Union St with the Dykes on Bikes entertaining the crowds as they roar down the avenue as

a symbol of LGBT community, communication, respect and empowerment.

The Color Guard for this year’s parade will be provided by the recently outcast Troop 98 of the Boy Scouts of America, with Troop Scoutmaster Geoffrey McGrath leading the way with the Scouts proudly presenting the American and Pride flags.

Leading the parade this year is Celebrity Grand Marshal, George Takei. With a career spanning more than five decades, Takei is known around the world for his founding role in the acclaimed television series Star Trek, in which he played Hikaru Sulu, helmsman of the Starship Enterprise.
