has done work for a number o f community
groups including Bad Girls, Cascade A ID S
Project and the Imperial Sovereign Court.
Brown was the Media Chairman for Capitol
Pride in Salem (2001-‘02), served on the
Oregon Bears Board o f Directors (2005-‘08)
and is a former Mr. Oregon State Leather.
In rather Pride-related updates, this year’s
Portland Dyke March will start an hour
earlier than in past years. The march, which
usually assembles on the North Park Blocks
at 6 p.m. Saturday and steps off at 7, will now
meet up at 5 p.m. June 19 and begin at 6 to
ensure that participants don’t miss the head
lining entertainment at Waterfront Park. The
march route will also change to mirror that
o f Sunday’s Pride parade (full story on p. 16).
