Transgender activists and artists and a lesbian of color will lead this year's Atlanta Pride parade, as the annual festival strives to be more welcoming of everyone fitting under the "LGBT" umbrella.

Transgender performance artist Scott Turner Schofield and Shonia Brown, author and publisher of African-American lesbian romance and erotica, are the festival's 2008 grand marshals. Calpernia Addams, a transgender author and reality TV star, will act as an honorary marshal.

"Pride has tried especially hard this year to be more inclusive," Pride Executive Director Donna Narducci says. "We have more transgender acts than before and our first transgender male grand marshal."
