News for the Gay & Lesbian Community of the Ozarks

I just found out that pride is the 22nd of June. One day only, 5 hours only. I totally understand the time and effort that goes into planning such events. What I don't understand is why only 5 hours? The past 2 years, Pride has been smaller and smaller every year, and this year proves to be the smallest yet. Have we damaged the gay and lesbian community so much in and around Springfield, that we can't put together a weekend to celebrate who we are??
Don't be too hasty to knock pride 07. I thought that for a smaller, one-day event it did pretty well—especially considering the rain all evening. Springfield is such a smaller town that there aren't a whole lot of gays here with time and money to devote to putting on Pride, which is essentially philanthropy. When my partner and I get a little more established, I'd like to get more involved but until then I can't complain since I'm not really part of the solution.
