THIS YEAR THE EVENT WILL OFFER A  NEW PURPOSE AND LOCATION.  IN LIEU OF A
MARCH  OF CELEBRATORY PARADING, THE FOCUS HAS SHIFTED  TO  A POLITICAL CALL
TO ACTION AND UNITY.  THE THEME THIS YEAR  IS "COMMONUNITY: UNIFYING OUR
STRENGTHS"

ORGANIZATIONS, CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS, TEACHERS OF PEACE,  AND SUPPORTERS OF
COMMON CAUSES  TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT BY JOINING  US IN  CELEBRATING

QUOTE:  OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS, AS A  NATION AND WORLD WE HAVE TAKEN GREAT
STRIDES OF PROGRESS  WITH RACISM AND SEXISM.  THESE STRUGGLES  ARE STILL
ONGOING, YET HAVE COME LEAPS AND BOUNDS.  PEOPLE OF THE GAY RELATED
COMMUNITIES WILL INVARIABLY SEE THE SAME PROGRESS ON ISSUES OF HETEROSEXISM.
IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.  " I AM REMINDED OF THE QUOTE BY SCHOPENHAUER..
"ALL TRUTH PASSES THROUGH THREE STAGES, FIRST IT IS RIDICULED, SECOND IT IS
VIOLENTLY OPPOSED, AND THIRD IT IS  ACCEPTED AS BEING SELF EVIDENT" "
..SCOTT A. FITZMAURICE, COMMITTEE MEMBER,

RIGHT, ORGANIZERS ARE ASKING FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE MANY CAPE COD
COMMUNITIES. ALL  PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPORTIVE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND EQUALITY ARE
