� Gayborhood App booth from 3-4 p.m.
During Pride 2012, the three organizations will hand out 1,000 T-shirts with Brushstrokes' tagline "Everyone. Equal. Everyday." on the front and the three organizations' logos on the back.
The first 100 persons who come by the Gayborhood booth on Sunday, October 14, wearing an "Everyone. Equal. Everyday." T-shirt will receive a free exclusive dance CD, compliments of Brushstrokes, David Atlanta and Gayborhood.
