Gaylabration: ASCENSION
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Gaylabration returns for the 12th year and is back to SATURDAY NIGHT. Join ASCENSION – the biggest dance party of Portland Pride Weekend.
The first Gaylabration was launched in 2011, following the passage of marriage equality legislation in New York, to celebrate love and community. While the United States continued denying same-sex couples in Oregon and throughout the nation the right to wed, the community united to support marriage equality. With LGBT rights still an issue, unite again in celebration and support. Gaylabration has also evolved to become the featured Saturday night dance party of Pride Weekend. It has expanded its mission to enhance the dance music scene in Portland by bringing in premier DJs and production.
The Gaylabration Portland Pride Event is an annual dance party and fundraiser that prides itself in celebrating the diversity of love and relationships in the community. All profits from the event support fulfilling the Pride Northwest core mission along with Our House and New Avenues for Youth.
