Kennedy Center Cancels World Pride LGBT Events...
A week of LGBT events scheduled for this summer’s World Pride festival at the Kennedy Center has been canceled, following a leadership change and new priorities at the renowned cultural institution, according to organizers and artists involved.
The Tapestry of Pride series, originally set for June 5 to 8, was intended to be a key part of World Pride celebrations in Washington, D.C. Multiple artists and producers said that their events were either quietly canceled or moved to other venues with little explanation.
In response, the Capital Pride Alliance, a leading LGBT advocacy group in the city, has ended its partnership with the Kennedy Center.
“We are a resilient community, and we have found other avenues to celebrate,” said June Crenshaw, deputy director of the Capital Pride Alliance. “We are finding another path to the celebration … but the fact that we have to maneuver in this way is disappointing.”
