Show Me Pride 2010 and Pride Protest

Show Me Pride 2010, Kansas City’s own week-long celebration during Gay Pride Month, came to an end Sunday night with a festival at Richard L. Berkley Riverfront Park featuring 90s R&B sensation, En Vogue. Pride saw its fair share of controversy this year when some Show Me Pride events were held in the Power and Light district. A splinter group staged a protest against what they felt are the district’s exclusionary dress code and homophobic practices.
