Pride in Memphis took place during the first half of the month of June. A concert Saturday, June 2nd, entitled “Gay Strands in the Fabric of Life" began the celebration. A variety of musical performances at this concert benefited the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center (MGLCC) and was held at First Congregational United Church of Christ. Mid-South Pride visited Little Rock, Arkansas, with its famous 100-foot Rainbow Flag for their Festival the following day June 3rd.

Mid-South Pride kicked off the following weekend with its first outdoor film, a sing-along version of "Grease" held Friday night June 8th at Peabody Park, the site for the following day’s Festival. MSP was recognized by QBliss, a web-based periodical publication from Dallas, with their first annual “Voice of PRIDE” award for creating change in the community. MGLCC held an opening for a GLBT-themed art exhibition, Ars-Spiritus, at its location just down the street from the park at 892 Cooper Avenue.

Saturday June 9th was the first public day for the MGLCC exhibition and was followed at 4 pm by the annual Pride Parade, organized by MSP. The Memphis 100-foot Rainbow Flag made its final appearance in this parade (this flag is due to be replaced in time for next year’s parade), and a brand new 8-stripe flag made its first appearance. The new flag is a 100-foot section of the Sea to Sea flag, constructed by artist Gilbert Baker for the 25th anniversary of the first rainbow flag for Key West, Florida. The Festival which followed was attended by over 2000 people and included female impersonators, acoustic musicians and awards for “best of” categories in the parade. A family style picnic, sponsored by Holy Trinity United Church of Christ was held at the same location on Sunday June 10th with picnic food and karaoke entertainment. That was followed in the evening by a tribute to William Kendall, who managed the Guild Art Theatre in the 1960s and 70s and not only stood up against censorship in Memphis but also showed some of the first GLBT themed films of that time. The tribute was held at the former Guild Theatre and was sponsored by Outflix, the Memphis GLBT film festival.

Memphis Black Pride celebrated for three days the following weekend June 14th through 16th, and hosted the second appearance of the 8-stripe flag at its family picnic on Sunday.

MSP marched in St. Louis’ Pride parade at the end of the month on June 24th with the final appearance of the Memphis 100-foot flag before its retirement.
