My girlfriend and I recently flew south to see what Atlanta was all about for Pride, the largest LGBT celebration in the Southeast. In 2015, Atlanta Pride will celebrate 45 years with its annual parade down Peachtree Street and festival in Piedmont Park in Atlanta's historic gayborhood Midtown. Rain or shine the October 12 parade and celebration would have gone on, Buck Cooke, executive director of the Atlanta Pride Committee Inc., which produces the annual Pride celebration, told the Bay Area Reporter.
The storm threatened to dampen Atlanta Pride first thing in the morning, but after about an hour of rain the clouds parted and the sun's rays hit the wet streets, making them sparkle just in time for the parade to kick off with the Dykes on Bikes.
