On Tuesday, SF Pride announced the recipients of this year’s 2015 Pride Parade Awards. The San Francisco Bay Times/Betty’s List contingent is honored to be among the winners! Thanks again to everyone who participated in our group, which was named an “Absolutely Fabulous Musical Contingent.” Thanks also to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence for assembling a diverse panel of judges, and to Kevin Yoza who videotaped all of the contingents for SF Pride. (You can see those clips over at YouTube.)
Our contingent’s theme this year was Women’s Music, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the National Women’s Music Festival and the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival. We had the most Women’s Music stars ever to appear, and perform, in a Pride Parade contingent!
