CELEBRATING YOU!

That’s the theme for Tampa Pride 2023, determined by organizers and supporters in these challenging times. In recent years we have faced the COVID-19 pandemic, job uncertainty, unprovoked war and mass shootings across the nation. We have also stayed at home glued to the TV and watching Net ix, sharing valued time with friends new and old as well as our families, those by blood and those we’ve chosen. Making memories!

Of course, new ideas have followed. We’ve experienced the creation of LGBTQ arts, AI innovations, technical demands, exciting thoughts and implementations, positive actions and more. Many of us have reached outside of our comfort zones to make our lives the way we’ve always dreamed they could be — diverse, equal, happy and free!

Celebrating You is not always an easy ride in the world that we live in, not even in our supposedly free country. There are battles within the LGBTQ community and outside of it: just think about those who are against us, who want to spray gasoline on the re to weaken our civil rights.

There are elected o cials ordering public schools not to acknowledge the achievements of LGBTQ leaders from the past and that are removing LGBTQ books from libraries, taking these out of sight from youth under 18. They’ve told questioning youth that “you have no history!” These leaders are trying to reimagine the past to have a new, rewritten version to stu down our throats. We are not arti cial beings yet, folks!

Celebrating You allows us a time and space to come together and center who we are. Not by a learned methodology of education but by our inner heart’s sanctuary, revealing each of our desires. This is who each of you are! This is who I am! Life is worth celebrating and includes Drag Queens and others in our community. Our stories are the ones that I love to hear — and these stories, our fascinating lives, are lived and measured by Celebrating You!

We welcome everyone near and far to our great city of Ybor for the 9th Annual TAMPA PRIDE. We share this celebration with thousands of visitors to enjoy our community’s welcoming hand and spirit through our day-long LGBTQ festivities.

Happy Pride! Let’s CELEBRATE YOU,

Carrie West Tampa Pride President

2023 Tampa Pride Street Festival and Diversity Parade

The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners is pleased to recognize the 2023 Tampa Pride Street Festival and Diversity Parade, a celebration of Hillsborough County’s LGBTAQ diversity, inclusiveness, and love of all people.

Now in its ninth year, the Tampa Pride Street Festival and Diversity Parade recognizes and venerates the LGBTAQ+ Community in and around West Central Florida with its 2023 theme, Celebrate You. Tampa Pride has been instrumental in key events throughout the region, including the House of…Party Event for LGBTAQ+ African American and Hispanic individuals in the community and the 2nd Pride on the River Festival on the Hillsborough River that was held in September. In the fall of 2023, the organization will introduce the Tampa Pride Foundation Scholarship Fund for students in need. Held in historic Ybor City and made up of over 250 volunteers from corporations, businesses, hospitals, organizations, schools, and individuals, the festival and parade are televised on ABC Action News and streamed on more than 50 affiliate stations nationwide, bringing a nearly $3.75 million economic impact to Hillsborough County. These prestigious events, which last year attracted 100,000 attendees from around the country for fun in a safe environment, get bigger and better each year. The Tampa Pride Street Festival and Diversity Parade proudly promote the county’s diversity, and are sources of great community pride.

The Board of County Commissioners of Hillsborough County, Florida does hereby commend the 2023 Tampa Pride Street Festival and Diversity Parade for its community spirit, and extends its best wishes for another special day in the sun and under the lights.

I GOT REAL. with PREP.

PREP When You Want It

PEP When You Need It

WAYS TO PREVENT HIV WAYS TO PREVENT HIV

PrEP when you want it if you are currently HIV negative and concerned about exposure to the HIV virus.

PEP when you need it if you are currently HIV negative and think you’ve been exposed to HIV. PEP blocks HIV before it infects your body, and you take it within 72 hours of exposure. PEP is a 28-day therapy.

Protect yourself from most STIs and unintended pregnancy by using condoms.

Together, PrEP and condoms will lower your risk of getting HIV.

Get tested for HIV before you start any medication.

THIS AND EVERY YEAR, TAMPA PRIDE CELEBRATES YOU!

Ryan Williams-Jent

Tampa Pride returned for its eighth celebration in March 2022, welcoming supporters to Ybor for a full day of entertainment and activities designed to unite the LGBTQ community. They did exactly that while setting a new record, hosting around 100,000 people from in and outside of the region.

It further perfected Tampa Pride staples like its sold-out Diversity Parade and Street Festival while elevating newer initiatives like Pride at Night. Last year’s theme was “The House of Tampa Pride,” paying homage to the ballroom community and its contributions to the liberation movement.

In September, organizers built on that momentum with the second annual Pride on the River. The gathering o cially launched Tampa Pride’s 2023 season.

“This is another huge event we’re bringing to Tampa,” they shared at the time. “This is our way of doing something else in Tampa and it’s really a big deal.”

Attendees agreed, enjoying a boat parade, local

and national entertainers and much more. Pride on the River will proudly return for its third outing this September after Tampa Pride 2023.

This year also saw a plethora of inclusive events, all tying into Tampa Pride’s 2023 theme, “Celebrate You.” It’s an extension of Tampa Pride’s mission to organize year-round activities as well, which it does by celebrating members of the LGBTQ+ community in Tampa and the surrounding areas while “championing our shared experiences, honoring our di erences

and strengthening our community.”

“I can tell you that this is a year of changes, a year of unpredictable futures,” Tampa Pride President Carrie West says. “What Tampa Pride has done in response to that is make way for new things.”

That includes the Tampa Pride Scholarship Fund, supported by the Tampa Pride Foundation which formed in 2021. Its mission is to create positive change for members of the LGBTQ community, which it does by awarding grants and scholarships to LGBTQ students in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk and/or Pasco counties.

“It’s been very interesting,” West says. Applicants are invited to apply through April 30 this year and will be evaluated on nancial need, demonstrated

community involvement and other requirements. Scholarships of up to $1,500 have historically been awarded to students.

Tampa Pride also crowned Miss Tampa Pride 2023 in September, Hazel E. Genevieve, and held The Ultimate Showdown 2023 in January. Each gathering o ered an incredible array of entertainers from throughout Tampa Bay a chance to shine, with Imani Valentino winning the latter competition.

“Just seeing all the smiles from the people we’re working with in the community — from those in medical elds to artists and new entertainers coming in — has been incredible,” West says. “It’s a very good feeling.”

It one that celebrates you.

“We’re standing proud,” West promises. That will be evident throughout the ninth annual Tampa Pride this year.

MEET THE 2023 GRAND MARSHALS

Ryan Williams-Jent

Tampa Pride asked supporters last December to nominate grand marshals for this year’s celebration, seeking leaders to recognize who have demonstrated "amazing support for the LGBTQIA+ community." This year’s honorees include ve individuals and one organization, detailed in these pages.

Grand Marshal: Chuck Diaz-Henson

When it comes to increasing LGBTQ visibility in Tampa, Diaz-Henson has played no small part. A “former television news guy turned massage therapist,” he worked as a local station’s expert and anchor for years. It’s in that capacity that he came to know the community of which he’s proudly a part.

“Tampa's LGBTQ community made it easy for me to jump right in and put my own mark on our city’s legacy,” he explains. “Wherever you’re from, Tampa Bay’s LGBTQ community knows how to make you feel at home.” That’s why he’s so honored to be recognized as a grand marshal.

“There are so many deserving people and I bow to their commitment, drive and excellence,” Diaz-Henson says. “I hope in my nearly 20 years in Tampa that I have positively impacted others.” He will celebrate this year beside his husband Joe, a fellow LGBTQ advocate who he thanks for his complete support. "We're here. We're queer," he notes. "Get used to it!”

Grand Couple: Chou Chou Guilder and Michael Wilson

Chou Chou Guilder and Michael Wilson may not be involved romantically, but there’s no denying they’re a dynamic duo. Each half of this year’s “couple” is a veteran of Tampa’s LGBTQ community, which they currently serve as co-managers of Southern Nights Tampa in Ybor.

“I guess you could say we are a management couple running Southern Nights,” Guilder muses. “We do get called Mom and Dad a lot at the club.”

“We have served the Tampa community together in many capacities,” Wilson adds. That began for him in 2005 as security for Wrangler’s, earning him the nickname “Sherri Mike.” Guilder’s work in the city also began nearly two decades ago, where she’s served the community at The Honey Pot and GBAR.

The two were surprised to receive this year’s recognition but still honored. “Tampa Pride is important because it brings everyone in the whole Tampa Bay area together to celebrate who we are and what we stand for,” they say.

Trailblazer: Esme Russell

Esme Russell loves Tampa, and Tampa loves Esme Russell. She’s lived and worked in the city for her entire life, performing in drag for nearly 50 years. For that reason and more, she was chosen as Tampa Pride’s 2023 trailblazer.

“I was sneaking into clubs doing drag shows as a kid and I’m 61 years old," she says. "If there's one consistent thing about me, it’s that in this city, I've never, ever been without a job. Not once. This community has always found a place for me.”

Russell was born just one block behind Bradley’s on 7th, where she’s performed for more than a decade. She currently entertains there and at Showbar.

It’s a far cry from her early career. “When I started doing drag, it was almost illegal,” she explains. “You had to wear two articles of male clothing. You had to go downtown and register. The strippers had to have a card, I had to have one to work in the clubs. So it was a big ordeal but I’m a proud product of this community. Being a part of this community has been the best part of my whole life.”

Every day, Ferguson leads with the common goal of working together to bring our purpose to life—building the world we all want and building the change we all need. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Tampa Pride 2023. Together, we drive progress in ways no one imagined. Learn more at: ferguson.com/fergusoncares

TOGETHER WE BUILD BETTER

Recognized Community Leader: Dr. Rishi Patel, CAN Community Health President and CEO

CAN Community Health has served the needs of the HIV community for more than 30 years. It currently does so with Dr. Rishi Patel at the helm, the private, not-for-pro t organization’s president and CEO.

CAN is dedicated to the treatment and care of people living with HIV and other diseases, o ering medical, dental and psychological care among other services throughout Florida and beyond. The organization operates over 30 medical clinics, including its Sarasota headquarters and locations throughout Tampa Bay and Central Florida.

Patel joined CAN as Chief Pharmacy O cer in 2015 and was subsequently appointed as president and CEO in 2021. It’s in his current position that he utilizes his more than 14 years of experience and expertise in pharmacy services management and more.

“I am grateful to be selected as a Grand Marshal for Tampa Pride! Truthfully, so many incredible people in our community could receive this recognition,” he says, “but I am beyond honored to represent all of our clients and employees at CAN Community Health, who work tirelessly for our mission every day in the Tampa Bay region and beyond."

Community Business: Southern Nights Tampa

Southern Nights Tampa has helped celebrate Tampa Pride since the venue’s inception nearly eight years ago. This year will be di erent only because it will do so while being honored as a grand marshal, a recognition it’s long deserved.

The LGBTQ hotspot’s goal is to provide the best nightlife experience it can in Ybor. Events feature cocktails, drag queens, dancers and other forms of entertainment along 7th Ave., which makes it the perfect venue to partner with and party in before, during and after Tampa Pride each year.

“We are honored as a business that strives to provide the best entertainment and safety for the LGBTQ+ community and are looking forward to many more years to come,” Southern Nights Tampa’s leadership says. “We have always been connected with Tampa Pride with donations, oats and holding events.”

Within the last year, those e orts include hosting signature initiatives like the 2023 Miss Tampa Pride Pageant and The Ultimate Showdown 2023. “We will always be an all-inclusive venue to everyone,” the bar’s management promises. “We love everyone in the community, their energy and their continued support of Southern Nights.” They look forward to celebrating together during Tampa Pride 2023.

Celebrity Grand Marshal: Pepper MaShay

International Dance Diva Pepper MaShay — a ve-time, Top 10 Billboardcharting recording artist known for hits like “Dive In The Pool” — is no stranger to Tampa Pride. The LGBTQ ally has entertained audiences in Tampa for numerous Prides now, most recently during Pride on the River 2022.

This year MaShay returns to Tampa Pride in Ybor as a grand marshal while celebrating her 70th birthday. She’ll do so while performing classic and updated hits and reconnecting with the community she’s long supported.

This and every year, she’s appreciative for the opportunity to connect with fans new and old, especially during Pride.

“To me, Pride festivals have always been a way to connect with the audience I’ve sung to for well over 20 years now,” she told Watermark in 2021. “Tampa’s LGBTQ community has always held a special place in my heart.”
