Boston Gay Pride 2009 --

Boston Pride kicks-off Friday at City Hall Boston Pride kicks off more than a week of festivities on Friday with the raising of the rainbow flag at City Hall. The event begins at noon and will introduce the 2009 parade marshals, which include Grand Marshal Pathways to Wellness, a non-profit holistic health center; and Honorary Marshal former Texas Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. The 2009 Boston Pride theme is "Trans-forming our Community." Boston Pride said on its Web site it hopes to build "upon last year’s theme of sustaining the LGBT community and working together for change, but also focuses on the important issue of supporting and advocating for our transgender families, friends and colleagues." The Boston Pride Festival will begin on Saturday, June 13, at noon at City Hall Plaza. This year’s entertainment headliner is singer Taylor Dayne, who had several hit singles in the 1980s that include"Prove Your Love", "Love Will Lead You Back", and "I’ll Be Your Shelter." Other entertainers include singer Brian Kent, and comedians Marga Gomez and Ian Harvie.
