Pride in Seattle wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t for the annual reveal of the GSBA Guide & Directory. During the program, we’ll be revealing our theme of the year as well as distributing copies of the 2019-2020 Guide, our community’s signature marketing tool.

In addition to our program, we invite you to join us at 11:00 a.m. for our mini Pride business expo, featuring businesses in the travel, tourism, and hospitality sectors.

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
