Israel Ministry of Tourism Celebrates Pride Atlanta
One of the main focuses of my website is to celebrate diversity and inclusion for all. We want to share stories of inspiration and highlight events and efforts of those trying and/or succeeding in making a positive difference in this world. We want to inspire others to make the conscious decision to Choose Love in every aspect of life.
We recently attended a brunch sponsored by the Israel Ministry of Tourism celebrating Pride in Atlanta. Israel is among the leaders in equality for sexual minorities.
The 48th Atlanta Pride event drew in thousands of people for its celebration of diversity and inclusion. Atlanta Pride takes place the 2nd weekend in October rather than in June when most major cities hold their events. The featured event activities are centered at Piedmont Park and due to park and drought regulations, the event had to be moved to October. Atlanta Pride is the country’s largest National Coming Out Day observance.

Guest of honor at the event was Patrick T Cooper, The Fashioneer. Patrick is a style guru, Influencer, and an emissary of encouragement. He shared his experience about his trip to Israel for Pride in 2017. In his words, his trip was “life-changing.” From the culture, the beauty of the land and architecture, to the overwhelming acceptance of the gay community. He had an unforgettable experience and looks forward to returning again soon.
