GaYBOR's First Float in the Krewe of Santiago Knight Parade 2-14-09
GLBT History made in Ybor City
The GaYBOR District Coalition entered their first float in "The Krewe of Santiago Knight Parade." This is a very big part of the annual pirate festivals. Many of the Krewes are GLBT friendly & the openly GLBT Krewe "The Krewe of Cavilers" were celebrating their 25th Anniversary this night. On the GaYBOR Float a Rainbow Flag was PROUDLY waved for the first time in this parade. On board the float were GLBT & Straight community members representing 141 businesses & groups in the Tampa Bay Area. Then over 20 different Krewes came up to us and welcomed us to the parade!!! What a very positive & warm reception we received from everybody. Ahead of us on 7th Ave in Ybor City were over 100,000 bead craving partiers... just waiting!
