This is the "official myspace page" for the Windy City Black Pride, a 501c3 organization created for and by Black Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Men and Women in the Chicago, Illinois community.
This page is meant to inform others that we, the Black LGBT and SGL population of the Chicago community, are here to take pride in our community's contributions, to celebrate our diversity and rich culture to uplift one another in a positive and spiritual way.
It should also be known that our website will be updated continuously to provide our community with a resource, not just for Black Pride weekend, but year round.
Our myspace page will provide information on education and employment opportunities, health and fitness, advocacy and legal information, the latest information on technology, music updates, showcase artists, highlight gay-owned and gay-friendly businesses, events around the city and outside the city and much more.
We are looking for planning committee members for the Windy City Black Pride Event for 2009. If you have any thoughts or ideas, drop us a line. Once again, we will be here all year long. Stay tuned as we get up to speed.
