The June 29 Anchorage parade of suggestively-clad sexualized drag queens, transgender unicorns, rainbow-draped abortion activists and gender-confused children would not be possible without the backing of major corporate donors, Alaska nonprofits and a litany of local businesses.

Underwriting this year’s annual spectacle of LGBTQAI2+ sexuality were “premier partners” Alaska Airlines, Walmart, along with “platinum sponsors” Alyeska Pipeline, ConocoPhillips, Fred Meyer, GCI and the Rasmusen Foundation. “Gold sponsors” were the Anchorage Assembly, Anchorage Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Congregation Beth Sholom, Credit 1, Mayor-elect Suzanne LaFrance, St. John United Methodist Church and STOEL RIVES LLP.

These major financial backers joined the alternative-sexuality celebration with banners and floats, many enlisting young children to carry flags and signs.

Other supporters and participants in the downtown Pride Parade included: American Red Cross, REI, American Federation of Suicide Prevention, NAACP of Alaska, Rage City Roller Derby, St. John United Methodist Church, the Anchorage Assembly, YWCA of Alaska, Encore Salon, Alaska Women Ascend, Queers for Palestine, Alaska Rainbow Elders, the National Park Service.

Renewal by Anderson, Alaska Center, University of Alaska, Four A’s, and many other entities set up booths during a post-parade festival at Delaney Park Strip, which included music, entertainment and drag queen dancers prancing around in front of young children as the kids impersonate them.

The parade was organized by Alaskans Together for Equality, which supports cross-sex hormones for youth, irreversible sex-change operations, abortion on demand, biological males having access to women’s bathrooms, gender-confused males being allowed to compete on girls’ sports teams, drag-queen story hours for children, gay marriage and much more.
