This year would have been the 40th anniversary of the Annual Phoenix Pride Festival and Parade. But as of right now, this parade has been rescheduled to November 7 to November 8. In the meantime, Pride organizations within Arizona have banded together to create the Virtual Arizona Pride New York City was the first city to host a Pride parade in 1970, a year after the Stonewall Riots. This is the first time since its inauguration that the event has been canceled. This is why the city is hosting a virtual NYC Pride event on June 28 from noon to 2 p.m. The event will be hosted by "Schitt's Creek" start Dan Levy and include performances by Janelle Monáe, Deborah Cox, Margaret Cho, and others. Normally the Dallas Pride celebration, The Pride of Texas is a new virtual event that will be taking its place. The event is hosted by Dallas Pride and other organizations that have been hosting Pride events since the first one in Dallas in 1972. More details on the virtual celebration are to come in the following weeks. LA Pride is going digital for this year's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first Pride parade. Though there are currently not many details on the celebration, the site mentions that there will be more to come soon.

The WTA Celebrates Pride Month When talking about equality in tennis, everyone immediately thinks of Billie Jean King. She's a champion for social justice, equality, women's rights and the LGBQT community, as well as a living legend of the game. http://instagram.com/p/CB0qOIVFkqA The 12-time Grand Slam champion used her racquet to ignite change for female players and beyond. Her "coming out" wasn't on her terms as she was outed in a palimony suit by her former partner, Marilyn Barnett. King would stand proud and strong in the face of adversity. It's because of her dominance on the court and determination in demanding change that not only formed the Women's Tennis Association but also has pushed it to where it is today. WTA players took the time to celebrate pride month and shared messages on how others can get involved in the ongoing battle for equality. "Pride month isn't just a moment, it's a movement," said doubles No. 48 Sharon Fichman.
