World Pride in NYC A packed bus of rainbow-clad campers headed to NYC on June 30 for the World Pride Day and 50th Anniversary of Stonewall celebration. The streets of Manhattan teemed with diversity, the parade included 170,000 marchers, and it is estimated that close to five million people lined the streets watching the festivities. The bus left Lewes at 6:30 a.m. and returned by 10:30 p.m. for a joyous, exhausting, uplifting day of pride activities.▼
10 Years of Protection for Delaware LGBTQ On July 2, CAMP Rehoboth and the Rehoboth Beach Museum celebrated the 10th anniversary of the signing of SB 121. Taking more than a decade to pass, SB 121 added “sexual orientation” to Delaware’s non-discrimination law, forbidding discrimination in housing, employment, public works contracting, public accommodations, and insurance. SB 121 was signed by Governor Jack Markell at the CAMP Rehoboth Community Center. Photos and mementos from that important day, along with other CAMP Rehoboth milestones, are now a part of the permanent collection of the Rehoboth Museum.
