Pride Weekend was BEYOND fabulous! By every report, Kresge Pride and TPS & QSU's Queer Prom were over-the-top successful. Photos are pouring into the Cantu's Fb pages. Kudos to all of the tireless organizers who made these events an amazing culmination of an already waaaay queer year! Downtown Santa Cruz celebrated its 40th Pride with multiple events. UCSC's mascot Sami made their rainbow debut at Pride and led the big, beautiful UCSC student and staff contingent down Pacific Avenue to the wildly enthusiastic crowd. Thanks to Jamie, Tam and Deb for taking the lead with downtown Pride's success!
