#ygkChallenge: Show Some Pride

Welcome to Kingstonist’s weekly challenge, dare, resolution or whatever you prefer to call it. Each week we establish a new and ambitious community goal, encouraging our readers, followers, friends and families to step out of their comfort zones and do something great, and hopefully a little out of the ordinary. Consider this your official and personal invitation to join us in completing a small but meaningful achievement. By taking part in this community-wide initiative, we hope to make Kingston a slightly better place to live, work and play. And of course, we also hope that you will feel proud of your contribution and achievement.

This week’s challenge encourages you to:

Support Kingston’s LGBTQ community. As we mentioned in a post in May, Kingston’s LGBTQ community is celebrating Pride with a full month of events. This Saturday is the Parade, which begins and ends in City Park and winds its way through the downtown core (check the above link for details). This week, we challenge you to get out there and show your support. Whether you choose to march or cheer from the sidelines, let’s make Kingston’s spirit of love and acceptance known.

Sign up and commit to completing this week’s challenge by commenting below with an “I’m in“, “challenge accepted“, “en garde” or something along those lines. Further, help us spread the word via Twitter and Facebook by using the hashtag: #ygkchallenge. As you work towards completing this week’s task, please feel free to lend others a helping hand by providing tips on how you achieved success.
