Second Pride Festival and Black Business Owners in SL

The Second Pride Festival is a festival of the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transexual) Community. The concept and idea is similar to the well known Gay Pride celebrations around the world. This event does not involve people joining together anywhere in the real world, but in the virtual world of Second Life®, created by Linden Lab™.
For the duration of the event, anybody with a Second Life account can connect to the Festival's location and join the celebration. Various activities are available on site, such as visiting of the many vendor stands available to promote businesses or charities, GLBT locations and causes, discussions, debates, parties, amusement rides, and more
SP09 is working with AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL this year and their movement called Outfront to support freedom of expression of LGBT people and the community around the globe.
We want the voices of the black community to be heard during this event. If you would like to be a guest speaker on behalf of Black Business Owners of Second Life, and be a strong voice for the black community at this event by sharing your story, please get in touch with Diamond Meness in world by IM or notecard.
