To Our Partner:
Thank you for your interest in supporting Boston Pride 2009, New England’s largest LGBT event.
As the 4th largest Pride celebration in the country, Boston Pride can offer you unique
opportunities to reach out to the LGBT community.
Since 1970, the Boston Pride Committee has organized highly successful Pride events. With
over 1 million participants sharing in the celebration throughout the week, our business and
corporate partners have enjoyed excellent opportunities to reach a large, diverse, and visible
community with high discretionary income levels.
According to U.S. based studies1:

The U.S. Gay & Lesbian population is 30 million (approximately 10%)
Boston is the 5th most populous Gay & Lesbian city (approximately 12.3%)
The annual value of the Gay & Lesbian market is $515 billion
91.8% of the Gay & Lesbian population indicate they would be somewhat or very likely
to use a product advertised in Gay & Lesbian outlets
21% of Gay & Lesbian households have income exceeding $100,000 per year
28% of Gay & Lesbian households have income greater than $50,000 per year
The Gay & Lesbian Community consists of the most economically advantaged people in
the U.S.
This packet includes a listing of opportunities available to your company, as well as many
individual opportunities available, and we hope you find the information valuable. We are open
to customizing our packet to fit your needs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions
