Gay Pride April 17th in Miami Beach

by South Florida Gay News

After a highly successful event in 2009, the City of Miami Beach is gearing up for another historic Gay Pride Parade Festival and Expo set for Saturday, April 17 on Ocean Drive.

With award-winning actress Sharon Gless and army activist/Iraq veteran Lt. Dan Choi serving as Grand Marshals, crowds are expected to exceed 25,000; an amazing accomplishment according to Pride organizers for an event in its second year. View a Schedule of Events.

Pride Parade Highlights

The Pride Parade begins at noon at 5th Street on Ocean Drive, with a diverse range of festive floats and more than 1,000 people participating in the parade.  One of the most popular highlights of the parade is the Legacy Couples – 28 LGBT couples who have been in committed relationships for 20 years or more; George Volpe and Peter Santangelo have been together the longest, for 66 years.

Another highlight of the Parade is the Key West Rainbow Flag, a 100-foot piece of the flag created by the Key West GLBT Community Center.  Originally 8,000 feet long (1.25 miles), the flag contained 25 miles of seams before being broken up and donated to several LGBT organizations across the nation.  It was created at the request the late Harvey Milk and was designed by Gilbert Baker, designer of Milk’s eight-color flag 32 years ago. The Key West flag includes more than 18,000 yards of nylon fabric, 25 miles of seams and weighs more than three tons.

Many of the parade entrants will ride in classic cars, with Sharon Gless and Dan Choi leading in a vintage Rolls Royce.  South Beach performer Elaine Lancaster will ride in a classic Lindberg as part of the “Miami Beach 25/7” contingent, the same car that Madonna drove in the film Dick Tracy.

Pride Festival and Expo – Lummus Park, between 10th and 14th Streets

Immediately following the parade, the Expo will feature 150 booths, food kiosks, exhibits and a family-friendly play zone, creating a massive Gay Pride exhibition area for businesses, community organizations and entertainers to showcase their pride and support of LGBT equality.

Two entertainment stages will showcase local, national and international recording artists and music sets by international DJs (see schedule for details).

Pride Cruise

From Ocean Drive to the ocean, Miami Beach Gay Pride continues with the first-ever “Pride Celebration at Sea,” Monday, April 19 through Friday, April 23, a four-night/five-day voyage aboard the Norwegian Sky with stops in Grand Bahama, Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay.  The cruise is produced by Source Events, with a portion of tickets sold to be donated to Miami Beach Gay Pride.

An Eco-Friendly Pride Event, featuring The Green Team

ECOMB, the Environmental Coalition of Miami & the Beaches, in partnership with several local businesses, has developed a series of strategies to “Green” Miami Beach Gay Pride, including:

• A comprehensive Recycling program along Ocean Drive and Expo Area. Recycling bins courtesy by Waste Management
• Energy needs to be produced by Biodiesel Generators, provided by Sidram Power
• Transportation and recycling support by EZGO Street Legal Electric LSV Cars, courtesy of Advantage Golf Cars
• Green Team volunteers will ensure that the site remains clean and free of debris and/or recyclables. T-shirts made of organic cotton provided by Boucher Brothers Management.
• Organic food and smoothies to be provided by Pasha
• Serving utensils, napkins and drink cups made of recycled and recyclable plastic

Cabanas Guesthouse Testimonial

Testimonial from our www.PinkChoice.com  customer reviews.

Great Hosts
The moment you enter the gates of The Cabana Guest House & Spa you automatically start to relax. Our first impression, someone takes a lot of time and care of this oasis. Every where you looked you saw lush green plants and flowers and spotless grounds, true to the pictures on their web site. We were early our first day at The Cabana Guest House, however the front desk manager “Dave” was very friendly, took us on a tour, showed us a changing room and told us to relax by the pool and he would come and let us know when our room was ready and he did. John, one of the owners was there each day with his partner Paul, both always with a smile and ready to answer any questions or offer suggestions to local haunts. Our room was very clean and close to the dock where we enjoyed our coffee each morning. The Continental Breakfast was great too! We liked the fact you could eat outside at one of the many cafe tables or on the dock. They also, provide Kayaks and Bicycles and we did both. The Spa was a great touch also and we had a wonderful massage towards the end of our stay. With two pools, hot tub, steam-room, spa and dock you have plenty of room to roam the grounds. If you have never stayed here before, we highly recommend that you give it a try. It is possibly the cleanest, most enjoyable accommodation in Wilton Manors. We look forward to our next stay and many more after that. Thanks guys for making our eight day stay one of the best ever. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the review Joe, We look forward to your next visit.

Sincerely, The Cabanas Guesthouse & Spa

No Nude Olympics for Vancouver 2010

Vancouver Times

As Vancouver continues to be lambasted by foreign press that have dubbed these Olympics the “Calamity Games,” Australia has failed to field enough volunteers to properly organize their annual naked version. Basically, they lacked the proper support.

“The…Nude Olympics won’t be happening in 2010, basically due to a manpower problem,” organizer Stephen P — who didn’t want his full name used — told QMI Agency.

The Southern United Naturists have run their bare-bottom Olympiad since the club was founded in the South Australia coastal suburb of Maslin Beach, more than 20 years ago.

The event gained worldwide attention.

Instead of toned athletes speeding down an icy bobsled run, the Nude Olympics featured often middle-aged beach goers taking part in egg and spoon races on hot sand. You wouldn’t find ice hockey, but there was a three-legged race in the 40C heat. And let’s not forget the full-on glory that came with winning the best bum competition.

However, like the original competitions in Greece — where male athletes would often compete without clothes — the Nude Olympics have also hit a snag in old traditions.

“In (the club’s) peak we would have had at least a couple of hundred active members…however times have changed,” said Stephen, a 47-year-old defence satellite communications expert.

They now have only twenty financial members.

He lamented a changing world, where people expect others to do all the work of organizing a massive event like the Olympics, as well as the social taboos that see naturists deal with society’s unease over being naked around children.

A church leader and French horn musician, Stephen does have faith though, that the Olympic spirit will one day rise again over his local beach.

He vowed: “We are confident that the Maslin Nude Olympics will be resurrected one day.”

Until then, he can at least watch the Vancouver Games in the buff.
