The Greater Palm Springs Pride board of directors announced “It’s Time’ will be the theme for the annual Palm Springs Pride Celebration scheduled for November 2 and 3, 2013. A nod to the past, the theme also represents new hope, new beginnings, and future progress toward equality. The theme sets the tone for the 27th annual celebration and will be a call for the community to step off the sidewalk and into the street and march for equality in the annual Pride parade.
