The state’s largest annual celebration of the lesbian, gay,
100% Original Quality Black Infrared 13s, bisexual and transgender community moved this year from the heart of Mount Vernon farther north to the Mid Town Belvedere neighborhood, which many people associate with Artscape. Alcohol consumption was confined to two "beer gardens" blocked off by fences. In past years,

City officials were trying to crack down on alcohol consumption and had told the Gay, Lesbian,

By midday Saturday, long lines formed inside the gardens, which were free to enter but sold beer, alcohol and food. There were no seats and some people said they felt awkward just standing around. But others said they liked being away from the bigger crowds.

"It matters more who you are with than where you are," he said.

Others said Pride wasn’t meant to be a drunken party, but a way to advance LGBT issues.

The owners and operators of the gay and lesbian bar Grand Central had fought the move of the festival and said many of their customers partied at their establishment rather than celebrate a few blocks away. Baltimore’s gay night life scene centers on the East Eager and North Charles intersection,
