Gay pride has come to Clarkston

with the first Eastside Pride event at Milam Park in June.

All kinds of people celebrate pride in Clarkston

From the Ga voice: The family-friendly afternoon included a potluck picnic, games, a raffle, and music from DJ Duck, who had Pride attendees dancing in the shade of the pavilion while a rainbow flag waved from the rafters.

“We had such a mix of people: LGBT community, advocates, extended families. Other groups having events in the park came over to say hi, their kids came over to dance, and one group asked our DJ to turn one of the speakers toward their pavilion, so they could enjoy the music, too,” King said.

Several Clarkston political leaders joined in the festivities, including Vice-Mayor Emmanuel Ransom; Amy Ormes-Tygrett, wife of Clarkston Mayor Howard Tygrett; and Council members Dean Moore and Dianne Leonetti.
