Providence Pride :: 2008 Weekend in Review
This year’s Rhode Island Pride celebration drew a huge crowd for a day of unity and entertainment. Thousands of spectators gathered on the sidewalks of downtown Providence, many spilling out into the streets to cheer on the various floats and marching groups as the 32nd annual event wrapped.

EDGE spoke to a number of activists and same-sex marriage advocates about what needs to be done between now and November to ensure that our gay pride won’t be looked back on as gay hubris.
