PrideFest turns 28 this June for Hampton Roads Pride, the local non-profit, LGBT organization whose mission is to unite the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and allied communities in support of inclusion, dignity and equality of all people. Hampton Roads Pride's annual celebration held at Town Point Park is the city's largest one-day celebration and this year's theme is Love Unites. How did organizers select that theme? What major strides has it seen for the LGBT community in our region? We'll talk with festival organizers and board members on today's program about the festival coming up on June 18, 2016.

A week ago a gay rights activist, Xulhaz Mannan, and his friend were killed in Bangladesh's capital city, Dhaka. Mannan served as the editor of Roopbaan, the country's only LGBT magazine, and had familial ties to Hampton Roads. We'll talk today with Mannan's nephew, Raj Islam, and other members of Virginia Beach's Human Rights Council and Hampton Roads Pride about the global impact of Xulhaz Mannan's death.

That's the theme for this year's PrideFest to be held again this coming weekend at Town Point Park in Norfolk on June 27, 2015. This celebration of the LGBT community in the region and its supporters has much to be proud of as marriage equality took hold in Virginia this past year. Now, as the country awaits the same decision by the United States Supreme Court on a nationwide scale, this event in Norfolk could hold an even more celebratory meaning for festival goers. On today's program, as we take a look at the components of the festival and its full week of activities, we’ll get an overall look at the state of the LGBT community here in Hampton Roads and beyond.

For the first in its 23 year history, the LGBT group Hampton Roads Pride will hold its annual "Out in the Park" festival at Norfolk's Town Point Park. The larger venue is not only expected to draw more people in the area, but more attention from others outside the local gay and lesbian community. On Thursday's HearSay, we'll talk about the evolution, the current state, and the ideas about the future of the LGBT community in Hampton Roads.
