Human Dignity Coalition is proud to present the fifth annual Bend Pride ’09.
In Central Oregon, there’s more to our shared environment than trees, mountains, and stunning rivers. Our environment includes the people with whom we live and work, and the community created by our shared love of where we live. At the forefront of promoting human rights and diversity in Central Oregon is Human Dignity Coalition. This year we are partnering with the LGBT club at COCC to bring you a week’s worth of events that celebrate Gay Pride, Family, Friends and Allies. Please join us in creating a community that celebrates our differences and is stronger because of it.
