2001, June 9 (Saturday) * The Record: Bridge to acceptance

Bridge to acceptance This article by Cherri Greeno (record staff) has the caption “You feel free to be yourself, on Pride Day, couple say” below the title. Much of the article centres around an interview with Kitchener lesbian couple Melody Alderwick and Shelley Durocher, who indicate that although they often walk holding hands in public, they feel more comfortable doing so at the local Pride celebrations. The previous year in July, the couple had a binding ceremony. [NOTE: The couple had a legal marriage several years later, on July 16 of 2006.] The article goes on to discuss the history of Pride celebrations, and supplies some information about the Pride celebrations that began in Kitchener in 1995 (when 86 people attended), and traces their history from the Kitchener City Hall Rotunda to the commons area of Victoria Park, and then to Roos Island in Victoria Park. The author also interviewed A.J. Mahari (current chairperson of the Waterloo-Wellington Regional Pride group, who spoke about the problem of lack of visibility and services for the local rainbow community. Mahari looked forward to the day when the community would have its own centre. (NOTE: That did not happen for another 11 years, in 2012, when SPECTRUM was founded.) Meanwhile those interviewed expressed the hope that society was going to continue become more accepting of people regardless of their choice of partner. The article ended with the following note: “Pride Day activities run from noon to 6 p.m. today on Roos Island in Victoria Park in Kitchener.”

NOTE: The text quoted from The Voice had been used since the previous year (2000); it seems reasonable to assume that the Chorus took a break at some point in 2001, and started rehearsing again around the beginning of September - but for 2001, that would be September 5 or 12, not September 6.
