This year Pride Houston has COVID controls in place to help the LGBTQ community gather safely. Former Mayor and then City Councilwoman, Annise Parker, revised the Montrose Pride Parade ordinance to allow for a nighttime parade to help cool off the crowd. The streets were lined with people from all walks of life, celebrating the LGBTQ community and commemorating the raid of Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street in New York's Greenwich Village.
Until 2015, The Pride Parade had taken place in Montrose, Houston's most gay-friendly neighborhood, and the parade route had been along Westheimer Road, from Dunlavy Street to Crocker Street. Showstoppers to perform include Queendom Come, DJ Lasko, DJ Krazzy Kris, a Pose inspired fashion show and ultra-drag queen, Angelina DM Trailz. Hosted by Outsmart Magazine’s Rising Drag Queen Star nominee, Muffy Vanderbilt III, and hip hop artist, Paul Luna, the event will kick off at noon in the Montrose area surrounding Buddy’s Houston, Hamburger Mary’s, and Barcode. This year, headlining the Montrose Block Party is the Grammy-award nominated singer Deborah Cox, a multi-platinum R & B/Pop recording artist and actress who starred in the musical “The Bodyguard” as Rachel Marron, a role originally played by Whitney Houston. However, in light of the pandemic, the event sans parade, which usually takes place in June, has been scheduled as a block party in Montrose for October 9, 2021.
