The purpose of Harlem Pride is to promote Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Same Gen-der Loving Pride in Harlem by providing opportunities for networking and communication among organizations and community members in Harlem. To do that, Harlem Pride will become a com-munity partner in support of existing programs and we will also produce our own events that will celebrate LGBT & SGL pride. Lawrence Rodriguez and Carmen Neely, two Harlem LGBT activ-ists\/residents saw an opportunity to celebrate the LGBT & SGL community and its role and contri-butions to Harlem\u2019s rich history. They envisioned an annual celebration of gay liberation in Har-lem\u2019s Mount Morris Park Historic District because the area has become a thriving \u201cgayborhood,\u201d and would be an excellent symbol of uptown gay pride. With thousands of LGBT residents in Har-lem and more visitors expected for general June Pride Month events, Harlem Pride\u2019s time has come. Harlem Pride\u2019s founding board members include Lawrence Rodriguez (Founder\/Executive Director, Casa Frela Gallery), Carmen Neely (Founder, Crucial Arts), Michael Hodge (Owner, Kai & I Catering), Adriane Ferguson (Owner, Billie\u2019s Black Bar\/Restaurant\/Lounge) and John Reddick (Founder, Harlemonestop.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Harlem Pride thanks its supporters the West 119th Block Association, Billie\u2019s Black, Crucial Arts, Casa Frela Gallery and Gay Black Travel.<\/p>\n
