GayCities members submitted over 600 Pride photos this year in the #EqualityInColor photo challenge. But it wasn’t just about quantity. The extraordinarily quality of your entries made it nearly impossible for the judges to choose the winner for a grand prize: A NYE Las Vegas vacation. After much ado, Blake Britton’s photo “Still A Long Way To Go”(right) took the cake.
The story behind the picture is a true tale of Pride. While at the Rocket City event in Huntsville, AL, the snap of the shutter gave Blake clarity. He realized “we really do have a long way to go for acceptance in this world.” And the photo was born.
The avid trekkie, trumpet player and self-proclaimed ginger bear was married on July 25th in Toronto, and is bringing along his husband Richard for what will be their unexpected Las Vegas honeymoon.
