以往在现场参与西雅图骄傲节的企业今年改为虚拟过节形式

西雅图骄傲节在每年的六月举行，其中包括为期一周的巡回演出，烧烤，现场表演，文化活动，当然还有在活动的最后一个星期日举行的游行表演。而且西雅图是太平洋西北地区最大的城市，长期以来一直是LGBT运动的中心。 Shelley Brothers是一家女同性恋酒吧Wildrose的老板，该酒吧位于肖普以南一个街区，已有30多年的历史，她说以往举行的骄傲节一周通常能带来的年收入的20%。韦斯利·弗鲁格制作的一个综艺节目《西雅图骄傲》中有艺术家表演、现场音乐、拖拉表演、空中表演和马戏表演。去年这些预算达约为1万美元，但是今年，虚拟骄傲节却不需要花费这么多钱去搞现场演出了。这场疫情虽然在网上推动了世界各地的城市庆祝骄傲庆，但是却剥夺了很多企业展示自己品牌和赚钱的机会。

Seattle Pride takes place every June as part of the larger “Seattle Pridefest” which includes BBQs, live performances, cultural activities and of course the main parade which takes place on the last Sunday of the event.Seattle, the Pacific Northwest’s largest city has been a longtime center of LGBT activism. Shelley Brothers, who co-owns the Wildrose, a lesbian bar one block south of CHOP that’s been around for more than 30 years, says Pride weekend typically brings in 20% of revenue for the year. Wesley Frugé looks forward to producing BeautyBoiz Queer AF, the variety show that the nonprofit he founded hosts during Seattle Pride in late June. The event features artists, live music, drag shows, and aerial and circus acts—really “anything under the queer umbrella,” he says, and is followed by a “massive dance party.” Last year, the budget was around $10,000. This year, it didn’t happen.
The pandemic pushed Pride celebrations in cities around the world online, depriving many businesses of the chance to showcase their brands and to make some money.   source
