Those elected officials, with the help of political organizations, passed same-sex marriage this year. A price hike went into effect this year that raised the fee charged to elected officials/candidates/political organizations to $1200 while local small businesses are charged $700. ![]() Dominic Holden of Seattle’s Pulitzer Prize winning alternative weekly newspaper/blog The Stranger, posted a piece online yesterday slamming SO&P for charging politicians wishing to register for the parade more money than local businesses and non-profits. Seattle Out & Proud has regained some solid financial footing in recent years, but it’s also at the heart of this year’s mishegoss. Last year it was “The Pride Flag On The Space Needle” (probably to be repeated this year stay tuned!) and in previous years it has been the furor over moving the official events from Broadway/Capitol Hill to Downtown/Seattle Center…or, the financial issues of the parade organizing committee, Seattle Out & Proud. Well, we have our first fuss of the year concerning Gay Pride…pretty much every year there’s someone having a hissy fit about some aspect of Gay Pride celebrations in Seattle.
