This year, NoHo Pride will include greater representative of the transgender community as well as the LGBT deaf community. This year's pride will include live performances by Ayisha Knight-Shaw, a deaf lesbian multi-media artist, and Leslie-Anne Rios, a local transsexual musician.

"We are determined, and I personally am driven, to include all the folks who fall under the pride umbrella," says Lorelei Erisis, transgender liaison for NoHo Pride. Erisis, who recently spoke during Trans Lobby Day in Boston, says she also hopes to reach out to the polyamorous and bisexual communities.

(NB: NoHo Pride will be take place on May 1st, in Northhampton, Massachusetts)
