Pride on display at Pride Fest, Motor City Pride's predecessor. Photo: Jason A. Michael OK, so the title is slightly misleading. Pride in Metro Detroit goes back farther than 20 years. It's more like 34. But, if you'll kindly continue reading, I'll give you a brief history lesson and explain how it is that Motor City Pride is only 20. The first official LGBTQ+ Pride festival in Metro Detroit took place in 1989. It was chaired by Frank Colasonti Jr. and funded by the Detroit Area Gay/Lesbian Council (DAGLC).
