City of
New Orleans
Welcomes
Southern Decadence Visitors
Due to the significance of Southern Decadence's importance to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, and the millions of dollars in economic impact, the past three Mayors of the City of New Orleans have issued an official proclamation welcoming visitors to Southern Decadence, including Sidney Barthelomew, Marc H. Morial and C. Ray Nagin. All three mayors' proclamations appeared first and exclusively in Ambush Mag, the Official Southern Decadence Guide. The last two mayors' proclamations also appeared first and exclusively on-line at SouthernDecadence.COM, the original and only Official Website of Southern Decadence. This year, the New Orleans City Council welcomes Southern Decadence revelers. See 2010 City Council of New Orleans Welcome.
