Our goals for Metro East Pride 2010 are outlined as follows:
1. Embrace diversity in all its forms.
Be inclusive of all, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity,
race or ethnic group, or age.
(The just-concluded festival was a panorama of this.)
2. A vision that includes greater community interaction between the LBGT
community and Belleville.
This involves Pride’s participation in local events and cooperation
to make this an even better place to live. It involves dialogue and
support of local businesses.
It involves advance planning with businesses located within the
Pride Festival perimeters to ensure that any problems are solved
and that the Festival is advantageous to all parties.
3. Increased participation as a group in environmental issues, and in helping to alleviate
poverty in our community.
We are all cognizant that festivals are fun.
We desire to be recognized as a responsible part of our
greater community as well.
