Atlanta gay pride festival, iconic gay bar repay post-Covid
Atlanta's gay identity festival is returning after a two-year Covid hiatus.

A parade is scheduled for Sunday, with other celebrations Friday through Monday.
Also returning is the iconic gay bar The Atlanta Eagle, which after years became a Covid business casualty.

The Atlanta Eagle was an LGBTQ group gathering spot on Ponce de Leon Avenue for decades.

Diocese Exhibits Big Welcome at Pride
The Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta seized the opportunity offered by this year’s resumption of in-person Lgbtq+ fest Week to raise its longstanding back with new type ads, videos, and banners.
For decades, the Diocese has been a welcoming society to LGBTQ+ folks regardless of race, age, gender, gender identity/expression, marital status, economic status, or any other factor.

The Diverse community in Atlanta observes Pride activities each October. Why not June? Because high temperatures range from 85 to 93 during June.

Atlanta Pride included a two-day festival with music, merchandise, art, and food, along with a procession and a week&#;s worth of educational and social events.
