Mackinac island gay friendly
One notoriously quiet corner of the Great Lakes Articulate is about to gain a lot louder (and prouder), when Mackinac Island — recently named “World’s Top Island” by Travel + Leisure — hosts its first ever Pride Festival Sept.
The tiny island, accessible only by ferry (on foot or bicycle) will be awash in color as Pridegoers appreciate a wide range of activities, from some tried-and-true Pride mainstays to uniquely old-fashioned events with a classic Mackinac Island spin.
Behind the scenes, there are plenty of tasks keeping the planners at Straits Pride busy ahead of the big event. Mackinac Pride will feature a full calendar of activities that stretch across the weekend. There will be more traditional Pride fare, of course, including queenly queen bingo, queer brunch, queer prom and a drag show headlined by Lansing’s Bentley James and Ann Arbor’s Emma Sapphire, who was named Fail to catch Michigan Best Professional Queenly Queen But attendees will also get a chance to revel in Self-acceptance in classic Mackinac Island style, too.
