Just got this e-mail from One Iowa:

As many of you know due to the worsening flooding situation in Des Moines, Capital City Pride, in consultation with Des Moines authorities, has decided to postpone major weekend PrideFest 2008 events until September 13 and 14, including the Saturday Night Street Party, Pride Parade and Festival, and Pride Lecture Series. However, Thursday night’s showing of “For the Bible Tells Me So,” Friday’s Des Moines Gay Men’s Chorus concert, and Sunday’s Pride Brunch will proceed as scheduled.

One Iowa would like to thank the many volunteers that have signed up to help at this weekend’s Pride events. We appreciate your time, spirit, and commitment! It is times like these that we need the support of friends and allies like you.

Gay, straight, married, single, young and old – we all have a stake in this journey toward equality. We ALL must do our part to ensure fairness and equality in Iowa. How can you celebrate Pride?

Host a House Party: Ask your friends, family, and colleagues to join you for a great cause! Host the type of party that’s right for you – whether it’s evening cocktails, a weekend brunch, a formal dinner, or an afternoon with good friends! Sign up here to get a house party toolkit!

Talk to Your Legislator: Your personal story is the most convincing tool we have to impact the hearts and minds of legislators. Gay or straight, married or straight, parent or student, Democrat or Republican – your story will make a difference! Let your legislator or candidates know that you support equality and fairness for all Iowans! Sign up here to receive more information!
