Few cities the size of Portland have a more progressive and active GLBT community.Lesbians and gays in Portland tend to live and play all around the city, not in any particular concentrated neighborhood - it's a very socially and geographically integrated community.But come June, GLBT folks from all over the city and the surrounding region descend upon downtown Portland's scenic Tom Mc Call Waterfront Park to celebrate the Portland Gay Pride Festival, also sometimes referred to as Pride Northwest (the name of the organization that organizes it). This year the Portland Gay Pride takes place over the third weekend in June, one week after Astoria Oregon Gay Pride, out on the coast.
