The balls were rolling, the pins were falling, and donations were piling up. The Pet Project’s annual Bowl-A-Thon raised more than $70,000 to advance the mission of keeping pets and people together.
Wilton Manors’ city commission chamber was packed with people wanting to be heard on the most ambitious development for the city in more than ten years. The standing-room only crowd heard updates on the latest plan to redevelop The Shoppes of Wilton, aka Alibi Plaza.
All they wanted was a drink, a dance, and some camaraderie. What they got was a history-making week that changed LGBTQ perception around the world. The Stonewall riots were 57 years ago and their impact is still being celebrated.
The Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida’s (GMCSF) Invincible concert was a celebration of grief, a celebration of survival, and a celebration of Pride. The show debuted a new work, Amor Eterno: A Requiem for Pulse, which was specially commissioned for this night.
Stonewall Pride started off strong on Saturday, June 20. Sunny skies were above and long lines of people waited patiently to get in the festival on Wilton Drive. The parade staging area stretched from the DQ back to NE 16th St.
