About me:
PrideFest History
The first gay pride parade in 1969, known as the March on Stonewall, started as a protest against discrimination and violence against gays in New York City. Today, pride events have become an annual celebration and have grown to include thousands of gay and gay-friendly participants, not to mention hundreds of spectators.
Mid-Missouri’s PrideFest is in its sixth year and continues to grow annually. At the first gathering in 2003, approximately 200 people attended what has been described as little more than a big picnic. In 2007, the day-long event attracted over 900 people and many vendors.
Each year there has been change and now we have entertainment, a Pride Caf�, vendors and more.
The Mid-Missouri LGBT Coalition hosts PrideFest annually. Admission to the event is free thanks to the generous donations of individuals, sponsors, corporations and vendors.
Drop by Stephens Lake Park on June 14, 2008 to see what all the excitement is about.
The mission of the Mid-Missouri LGBT Coalition is to unify, inform, support and mobilize Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) individuals, groups and allies in our community through community building, communication, education and advocacy.
Monthly board meetings are held the second Thursday of each month in Columbia, Missouri. While this is a Board Meeting, all interested parties are welcome.

Who I'd like to meet: I want to see everyone on June 14th at Stephens Park! I'm talking Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Straight! If you're a friendly face, I want to see you there!
Below are the performers for the Sat May 24th show. Whoever raises the most money in tips will be crowned king and queen of pride. Show starts at 10 at Soco.
I have received lots of requests for copies of some of my older sets so I figured I would start reuploading them. The first one is Dj Heather S - Reduction in Force. I was initially made in Feb of 2007. Hope you like it. Have a good week!
Only 1 week until... Atomic Dance Party III, THE HEAT IS ON!
Take a break from the summer heat at the coolest summer danceparty in mid Missouri! If you've not made it out for ADP in the past, this is the year to make it happen.
After PrideFest, continue celebrating Pride with 250+ GLBTQ and straight ally adults at the Blue Note in Columbia. This historic building will be beautifully decorated in "THE HEAT IS ON!" party theme. DJ Jeff will play a fab mix from his library of 10,000 tunes, progressing from oldies (70's/80's) to current hot singles throughout the night. You don't want to miss our amazing raffle and door prizes (see our website for a complete list of both), an updated background video...and, a NEW dance contest! If you're not much of a dancer, it's a great place to people watch and catch up with old friends.
