Saturday Schedule I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support of San Jose Pride over the many years and welcome you all to the 2009 Pride Festival. Economic woes overshadow many festivals and organizations however while we have much to be proud of we still have a lot of work to do before we have the full spectrum of equal rights we deserve.

Forty years ago, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City resisted police harassment that had become all too common for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Out of this resistance, the LGBT rights movement in America was born. During LGBT Pride Month, we commemorate the events of June 1969 and commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans.

On June 1st President Barack Obama issued the following proclamation “I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of

Saturday June 13 • 11am – 7:30pm • Free For parade and vendor applications and other info, go online to www.sanjosepride.com

the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2009 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists.

This is a huge step in the right direction at a national level however we must not forget to be seen and heard at the local level. Your local Pride festival is just one way to achieve that. I encourage everyone to come out and celebrate national pride month on June 13th and 14th, bring your friends, bring your family, bring your PRIDE. With your help we can make it one of the best yet!

Song that Radio Song That Radio is a grass root organization which has a dual task of operating as a radio program to focus on educating about homosexuality with an emphasis on making social changes in attitudes toward homosexuals and to organize social and political events to advocate, support and empower the Vietnamese-American LGBT community to increase visibility and inclusiveness in the community. Our goal is to improve the quality of life and eliminate the disparities in Vietnamese-American communities in dealing with homosexual issues. During the 10 years of operations, Song That Radio received 3 Awards: Unity in Diversity Award from Santa Clara Board of Supervisors, BAYMEC Community Service Award from BAYMEC and LGBT Community members Award from Billy DeFrank LGBT Community Center.

Song That Radio has also been featured in San Jose Mercury News, OUTNow, LGBT Video Outlook and various Vietnamese publications, such as VietMercury and VOANews. Since 2003, Song That Radio has received numerous grants from the Horizons Foundation. Prior to that, Song That Radio received Grants from Gill Foundation and Rainbow Grocery Cooperative.

The Silicon Valley AIDS Leadership Center, formerly AIDS Coalition Silicon Valley, is dedicated to leading the fight, united with our communities, to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS and enhance the lives of affected persons. 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the Center’s signature event and the largest fundraiser for the HIV/AIDS cause in the South Bay, the Walk For AIDS Silicon Valley. Through this effort the Center has granted out over 3.5 million dollars since inception through the organization’s Community Grants Program. Funded programs include HIV/AIDS rapid testing sites, legal services, case management, prevention, outreach and education. The Center’s board of directors have embraced three main focus areas as the organization grows and develops into the future, including an expanded grants program, serving as a central voice for the HIV/AIDS cause in Silicon Valley and coordinating community wide prevention and education efforts. The organization kicked off their commitment to these priorities in April with the very first Silicon Valley Youth Leadership Summit on HIV/AIDS which gathered valuable information directly from young people on how they feel the pandemic can be dealt with in our communities. To find out more about the Center and their events and program call (408) 451-9255.

DJ Sue Started DJing in 1979 and within 3 months was DJ’ing at on of the South Bay’s biggest clubs (a 10,000 sf club hot spot in Palo Alto). She was one of the first female DJ’s in the bay area sharing the spotlight with only one other. She has DJ’d all over the bay area, Castro Valley and Nevada City, CA. Within 3 years of djing she was listed as one of the MAJOR DJ’s in the Bay Area. She has had the pleasure to work with some bug name such as Shelia E, Pete Escovedo, Carlos Santana, War, Shannon & The Cover Girls. She is well known in the community and is adored by all. The past 8 years she has been spinning in Gay Clubs and supporting the LGBT Community in anyway that she can, she has also been a featured DJ at San Jose Pride for the last 7 years and we are proud to have her take the main stage during this year festival.
