This is the first half of a nearly 20-minute documentary I made about Gay Pride Day in Seattle which took place on June 27, 2010.
The Parade and Festival events where shot by me with one camera, over a 3-1/2 hour period.
The shoot captured more than 1-1/2 hours, which I edited down to 19 minutes, 42 seconds.
There are many gay community events held during this time of year, however, the most attended are the Gay Pride Parade, which took place in the middle of downtown Seattle, and the PrideFest, which took place in the Seattle Center.
The Parade is a yearly celebration of the birth of the modern gay and lesbian liberation movement. It also marks the progress attained in civil rights, and equal treatment for all citizens.
All financial and social segments of society, all religions, races, and gender expressions are represented by marchers, as well as by the 450,000 people attending the parade. After the Parade, some 70,000 attendees flowed into the Seattle Center for the PrideFest. This combined cross-section of humanity is most noted for its astonishing diversity.
