"It made a lot of sense as a committee as something to emphasize as a theme this year."īelow is a breakdown of some of the events happening for Pride. "There is a real need for peace, love, and harmony," says Gay Alliance Executive Director Scott Fearing.
The 2017 theme for Rochester Pride would be "Summer of Love."
This summer marks the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, and the organizers of Rochester Pride found the themes of that summer relevant and timely - especially due to the current political climate. In the summer of 1967, nearly 75,000 people descended upon San Francisco in search of peace and free love and hoping to break away from the conservative ideals of their parents and other authority figures.
