Wichita Pride is the centerpiece of a month-long celebration of the uniqueness and rich diversity of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community. It is a time to remember the Stonewall Riots, which happened in New York City in 1969, and is generally recognized as the beginning of the movement in the quest for Human Rights. Locally, Wichita Pride is led by the Wichita Pride Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization who is dedicated to improving the quality of life for and visibility of the members of our community. Wichita Pride, is now a three-day extravaganza on in downtown Wichita that has grown from 800 people in 2007 to over 2,500 in 2010 (according to City of Wichita estimates).
