Romaine Patterson has been confirmed for PrideFest as the emcee for Family Field Day. Romaine is the co-host of Sirius Satellite Radio's "Derek and Romaine" show who first got started in GLBT activism when her close friend Matthew Shepard was killed in Wyoming in 1998. She is perhaps best known for her work combating the anti-gay Rev. Fred Phelps (whose Westboro Baptist Church picketed Shepard's funeral) as the founder of Angel Action, an organization for peaceful demonstration.
