Portland Black Pride |
Say It Loud! The Portland Black Chapter of PFLAG, Cascade AIDS Project and Multnomah County are taking the lead to have the most exciting Portland Black Pride ever! With help from PSU and A6, we are also getting support from local vendors including the Local Lounge, Crush, and Skate World. We've planned something for everyone who is a member of the Black Gay Community! The most exciting outcome is that we've established a Black Pride committee that will host ongoing events over the next year to guarantee an even more exciting Black Pride in 2012!

Pivot's Pride Art Installation: Jeffrey Horvitz | |
Pivot is proud to welcome the 2011 Pride season with the opening of a brand new art installation by renowned Portland photographer Jeffrey Horvitz!
The installation features a prominent downtown street window display on Fourth Avenue between Oak and Pine, of six men painted in the rainbow flag. Inside Pivot, eleven Pride-themed images fill the space with the vibrant energy associated with Pride season. Horvitz' images feature community members in Pride themed attire, at Pride events, and getting creative with the rainbow colors.
Pride is a special season for Pivot (formerly the Men's Wellness Center), a community space for gay, bi, and trans men. This Pride marks five years since opening our doors, and one year since the rebrand to Pivot. It is with this spirit of celebration that Pivot is delighted to feature Horvitz' creative work showcasing local community members.
Horvitz' exhibit opens June 1st and is available for viewing during Pivot's open hours, Wednesday through Saturday between 3-9pm through the month of June. Pivot is located at 209 SW 4th Avenue in downtown Portland. (Please note, Pivot will be closed the Friday and Saturday of Pride so staff can focus on the Pride festival.)
Be sure to look for Pivot during Pride weekend. They will be rocking out at the waterfront festival, in the parade, and around the block parties! |

Be Part of the Revolution! |
Revolution! combines Randall Thompson's Testament of Freedom with Robert Seeley's renowned NakedMan to make a powerful statement and continued call for life and liberty for all. The ethos and spirit of these sentiments rang true in the 18th century when Thomas Jefferson first penned the words from which Thompson takes inspiration, and as true as they did in the 1990s when Seeley composed the songs reflecting the many facets of the gay experience, including the AIDS crisis and the initial calls for marriage equality.
