Welcome to Northwest Arkansas Pride NWA Pride was organized to help facilitate Pride events in Northwest Arkansas. It is the goal of NWA Pride to have a yearly Pride Parade & Rally to promote Pride, self-esteem, and community in the Northwest Arkansas region.     NWA Pride Yahoo Group This years parade was not only larger than any previous year, but also received more national coverage. Thanks in part the the AFA (American Family Association) denouncing Will Phillips as Grand Marshal and the proclamation of Mayor Jordan of the City of Fayetteville. NWA Pride applauds the strength of Will Phillips and his family to continue to for equality, despite the opposition's hate spewing rhetoric. NWA Pride also praises Mayor Lioneld Jordan and the City of Fayetteville, AR for standing up to the messages of hate from the AFA. NWA Pride would also like to thank all the organizations that participated in the parade, as well as all the participants who came out to support equality for us all. Special thanks to Norman, Ken, Larry, Michael, Deb, Rachel, Jag, Ray, Derry, and the many others who helped organize and run the parade. All of you made this year's parade a success.
