Around Austin, Texans aim to keep it weird. So we can only imagine how wild, weird and wonderful this progressive city’s Pride will be.
If you’re lucky enough to be ‘round those parts between June 3-6, 2010 you can celebrate with their vibrant local LGBT community. This year Austin’s going all out with live music, the legendary Block Party, film fests, a 5k, and a parade.
