Knox Pride Festival Oct

Knoxville TN Jan 11, , Beau Knowles Knox LGBT Businesses

Knoxville hasn't had an in-person Identity festival Festival in 2 years. In Knox Pride wisely decided to postpone the Knox Pride Festival due to the pandemic, then in Knox Pride opted for a Digital Online Festival, titled DigiFest which had poems, yoga, bingo, -and-comedy. I know celebrating pride and being pleased isn't just one sunlight or now 3 days a year, but it will be nice to get out to view our "Community Family" together again. ~Beau

Knox Pride announced in a LIVE steam of their monthly board meeting on Tuesday, that they are moving the Knox Pride Festival to Fall of this year.

      Why I marched in a Pride parade and what I experienced

      I’m not homosexual. On the Kinsey Scale, I’m a % heterosexual male. I don’t perceive what either straight women or gay men notice in men. I assess we’re gross. I denote , I can say such-and-such male is “an attractive person,” but I am not attracted to them. So, why was I marching in the Identity festival Parade in Knoxville, Tenn.?

      Three key reasons:

      • I’m an American who cherishes that my fellow Americans be capable to feel safe when they exercise their release of speech.
      • I’m loyal and highly committed to people who are kind (and when they are unkind I am loyal by calling them out — as I would yearn them to do for me).
      • I ask, “What would Jesus do?” and then strive to do it.

      I have a friend in Knoxville who is queer and is one of the most brave and ethical people I ever have known. Since reconnecting via social media 20 years after college, we have spent hours on the phone talking about our lives.
