For the last three years, Lubbock Pride has been organized by Kat Cade, a 24-year-old Texas Tech University geography major and lifelong Lubbock resident. (The first Pride event, in 2011, was held by a different group.) After coming out as a lesbian in 2010, Cade started networking with local support groups like the  South Plains College Gay Straight Alliance, the  Texas Tech University Gay Straight Alliance and Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.
