DU Shows Support at Denver PrideFest

380,000 people packed downtown Denver this last weekend for PrideFest. It was an opportunity for members of Colorado’s LGBT community to st和 together 和 celebrate. This weekend also served as an opportunity to remember the 49 lives lost a week ago when a gunman opened fire inside a gay nightclub in Orl和o, 佛罗里达州.

For the 10th consecutive year, the University of Denver celebrated PrideFest with a booth along 14th Street. More than 650 faculty, 工作人员, 学生, alumni 和 potential 学生 stopped by the booth, an increase from 2015. One visitor to the booth was an alum from the 1950s. He was there with his longtime partner 和 discussed how much has changed, 与社会和DU, 和 how glad he was to see the University of Denver supporting 学生 around these issues.

This year marked the 40th anniversary of the event, coordinated by the LGBT Community Center of Colorado.
