Dear Friends and Patrons:
The Atlanta Pride Committee (APC) shares our community’s deep concern over the recent police raid at The Atlanta Eagle and questioned conduct during Black Gay Pride. We join the growing number of politicians and community leaders in calling for a swift, thorough, and transparent review of the circumstances that lead up to the incidents as well as the conduct of the officers during them. The infringement on the civil and human rights of members of our community or any community is fundamentally contrary to what we stand for. Our belief in the dignity of individuals is a core principle of our work.

Police officer, pastor honored as this year’s parade grand marshals
The Atlanta Pride Committee is proud to announce Pastor Chris Glaser and Atlanta Police Department Officer Dani Lee Harris as the grand marshals for the 2009 Atlanta Pride parade, which steps off Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. and travels down Peachtree and 10th Streets toward Piedmont Park. The festival takes place Oct. 31-Nov. 1 in Piedmont Park.
Glaser is the pastor at the Virginia Highland Church, as well as a speaker and an author of 11 books on sexuality and spirituality. He and his partner live in Ormewood Park. Harris is an officer and the GLBT Liaison for the APD. She is Pride’s first intersex grand marshal, and showed great courage by publicly sharing her story in a Southern Voice article in 2008.
