The East Tennessee Equality Council (ETEC) is proud to welcome you to another year of Knoxville PrideFest activities. Each year our events increase in number and size and this year is no different. But, no matter how big it gets, it wont be the same without YOU! With over 20 events, just in the month of June, there is something for everyone. Check out our calendar in the book, or online, grab a friend and come. Live. Love. Be. PROUD! with Knoxville PrideFest 2012! This year we have a lot of rsts for Knoxville PrideFest. Our City Mayor, Madeline Rogero, will not only be the rst Mayor to speak at our festival, but shell also be the rst to ride in our Pride Parade and the rst to write a welcome letter for our Pride Book. (Check it out 2 pgs from here!) This should come as no surprise as she just nished leading the charge to expand the Citys own Non-Discrimination Ordinance to include our community, among others. In a rst for our Country, the President of the United States, Barack Obama, just announced his full support for Marriage Equality. What a bold move and one that should help you to Live. Love. Be. PROUD! and inspire you to get more politically involved and help re-elect equal-minded ofcials like them. But no matter whats going on around us, Pride is what YOU make of it. You can sit at home, alone, maybe even in your closet (real or imagined) and feel like the whole world is against you OR you can come OUT (guratively or literally), join some friends, or make some new ones, and Live. Love. Be. PROUD! One thing were proud to continue for 2012 is the inclusion of a wide variety of venues for our events. We welcome Carleo Entertainment as a host of Eat OUT w/ Pride at Ebi, the Next to Nothing Show at Club NV and our VIP Party at Carleos Nightclub. Way to step up, now lets come OUT and thank them! However, if we have 20 events in June and no one in Knoxville, but for the LGBT community, comes out to enjoy them, or knows that we exist, what do we really have to be PROUD about? So, come out, come out, wherever (and whoever) you are and Live. Love. Be. PROUD! ALL over Knoxville with Knoxville PrideFest this June. Whether youre joining us for an Eat OUT with Pride at one of 20 local restaurants, heading to The Emporium for Art OUT in the City, enjoying a Night OUT @ The Smokies on our Private Patio (w/ our own Karen E. Reynolds singing the National Anthem), coming to our newest venue, Club NV, for the always HOT Next to Nothing Fashion Show & Auction or even marching down Gay St. in the Pride Parade, if youre OUT, you can be Proud and thats what Live. Love. Be. PROUD! is all about! And saving the best for last, weve signed our biggest name EVER for your Knoxville PrideFest Festival and cant wait to Live. Love. Be. PROUD! with the thousands of people that will show up to see our headliner, Taylor Dayne, on Mkt Square. (Check out the VIP info later in the book to join the private meet n greet w/ her immediately following her performance!)

No matter HOW you celebrate, or who you are, whether you make all of the events, or just a few, come OUT and Live. Love. Be. PROUD! with Knoxville PrideFest the whole month of June! It truly wont be the same without YOU! See you there,

June 23, 2012

I am thrilled to join each of you for Knoxville PrideFest 2012! This celebration of music, food, entertainment and art promotes the equality and inclusion of all people. The June calendar is full of activities to encourage local businesses and vendors to reach out to members of the LGBT community, and members of the community are always ready to offer their support. Its a win-win opportunity for everyone. During my Inaugural address, I remarked that a great city opens its arms and gathers into its midst the diversity of its people - people of all races and colors, people of all abilities, gay and straight, people of all faiths, from the youngest to the oldest, from the richest to the poorest. I built my campaign on diversity and inclusiveness, and that is how I have governed since taking office six months ago. Because all of us are Knoxville, and Knoxville will only become greater if all of us are involved and respected, I thought it was important to implement an ordinance to that effect. Thats why it was a key moment when our City Council approved to add four categories to the City of Knoxvilles non-discrimination employment policies: disability, ethnic origin, gender identity and sexual orientation. The non-discrimination policies apply to all City employees and candidates for employment. Im glad to be a part of this small but significant change and hope that with each PrideFest our community embraces its most important resource: our people. Thanks for the opportunity to serve as your Mayor, and please enjoy all of the activities and the PrideFest Festival. Sincerely,

Madeline Rogero
