SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY EVENTS:
2014 NICKY AWARDS “Hey Nicky you’re so fine,
you’re so fine, you blow my mind…” It’s that time of year again for the San Diego LGBT community. The nominations have been counted and the nominees notified, now it’s time to vote on the final win- ners—and have a fantastic party! This year’s Nickys on Sunday, August 24, is as special as ever to LGBT San Diegans, but more so this year due to its relocation under the beautiful dome of the San Diego Central Library
LGBTQ SPIRITUAL SUMMIT This gathering is the first of its kind in San Diego. “Bringing Our Spiritual-
ity Out of the Closet,” is an event designed to help start the conversation regarding what spirituality means, individually and as a group. Most in the LGBT community grew up in a specific religion, or with a specific dogma and for most, that dogma’s message was overwhelmingly negative. Join this panel of ten local San Diego LGBTQ-friendly congregational leaders for frank panel conversations, general audience Q&A time, followed with breakout sessions to discuss issues of faith, belief, criticisms, questions and community. The free event takes place on Saturday, August 2 at the San Diego LGBT Community Center, 3909 Center Street, for more information go to

downtown at 330 Park Boulevard. Come celebrate San Diego’s brightest and fin- est as they are honored for their outstanding achievements in arts, social service, entertainment, nightlife, business, dining, activism, philanthropy, volunteerism and individual accomplishment within the LGBT community. Voting is still open until August 11 for the final awardees, so don’t forget to cast one for your favorites! To vote, for more information on the event and to purchase tickets go to
