This comes from the Yetta Kurland campaign:

YETTA KURLAND, CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE FOR THE 3RD DISTRICT WILL BE KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT BRONX PRIDE - SATURDAY AUGUST 21ST

New York, NY. August 21, 2009. Today will mark the fourth annual celebration of Pride in the Bronx. Yetta Kurland, a candidate for City Council in the 3rd District, a district known for having a large LGBT population, will be the keynote speaker at the event.

"This is a year for change, hope and opportunity, and it is an honor to be a part of the 4th annual Bronx celebration of Pride. The LGBT community in the Bronx is finding its voice, and I am proud as a member of the LGBT community to be here to show support."

Kurland is running a campaign that many say is overtaking incumbent Christine Quinn's efforts to stay in office for a 3rd term, running on a platform of restoring the voice of her community.

This year's day long event includes musical performances and starts at 12pm in Barretto Point Park. The theme of the Pride is "We Matter".
