Milwaukee, WI - The three day PrideFest at Henry Maier Festival Park located at the Summerfest grounds drew thousands of festivalgoers, over the weekend. The dynamic music and entertainment festival attracts a diversity of people from the Milwaukee non-Gay, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community.
On Sunday, the headline show featured Robert Verdi, the Glamazons, the Joans, and the Joan Rivers comedy set. PrideFest for the first time booked the legendary Rivers, 77, said, "thank God there are no Gay terrorists...terrorists are so ugly... Men after fifthy their balls drop and when they go to the bathroom and sit down, they look like they're making tea in a cup." She was hilarious by mocking various famous friends and with her adult jokes had festivalgoers dropping from their seats, despite the light rain during her show.
This year, free HIV tests were offered at the festival with results in minutes. Black same sex male couples are considered a high risk group for contracting HIV, according to HIV test providers at PrideFest.
The festival also draws millions of dollars in tourism and provides an economic boost in the Milwaukee metropolitan area.
