Vancouver Pride

Locus will be performing at the Sunset Beach Pride Festival for the annual Vancouver Pride celebration on August 1st, 2010. The quartet will be part of an entertainment roster that includes, among many others, Kim Kuzma, Matthew Presidente, Peter Breeze, and headliners Yehonathan and Lyrik.

The Vancouver Pride Society (VPS) brings the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community, their friends, allies and supporters in celebration of the unique spirit and culture of the LGBT community by producing quality, inclusive events such as the popular annual Pride Parade and Festival.

This will be the third appearance for Locus at Vancouver Pride - the group was previously featured on the Vancouver Pride stages in 2008 (Brockton Oval for Picnic in the Park) and 2009 (PNE Playland for Gay Day at Playland).

NOH8 Campaign

The original NOH8 Campaign was founded in 2009 by American photographer Adam Bouska, as a form of silent protest against California's Proposition 8, which stripped gay couples of their civil right to marry. Since then, over 3500 official and non-official photos have been taken by supporters of the campaign.

Today, gay communities all over the world are still fighting for equal rights. On May 8th, 2010, the musicians of Locus proudly showed their support for marriage equality by posing for the NOH8 photoshoot organized by local photographer Daryl Dyck.
