Lyndon and Clair

Clair Koetitz and Lyndon Marquez have been together for 28 years, married for 13 and have lived in Las Vegas for 7 years. Their lives have been intertwined so it is difficult to write two biographies. They began volunteering for PRIDE with the Parade as script writers and check-in duties and with the Center for community engaging events in 2008.

During their years in Boise, ID they were involved as Ambassadors and a Docents for the Boise Art Museum, American Heart Association, Muscular Dystrophy Association, and the Boise River Festival. They both continue to support The Festival of Trees event in Boise, ID by booking the entertainment for the annual event which benefits the Saint Alphonsus Hospital and Foundation.

Before their move to Idaho they lived in Midland, Texas, where they met. There they both were involved in numerous board positions for the American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association and Gallery 1114. They spent numerous hours on the Texas Leadership Summit Task Force and raising monies with Round Up, a Cattle Baron Ball for the American Cancer Society.

They will continue supporting our community in any way possible. Las Vegas has many great LGBT organizations that can support numerous events on a united front.

Kalani "Tracy" Quiocho

Director
Member 2011-2012

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii in a little town called Ewa Beach. After graduating from James Campbell High School, Tracy worked in the Hawaii tourist industry, and made it his career for 15 years, he loved working with the tourists and promoting Hawaii, but it was not enough.

In 2002, Tracy decided to move to Las Vegas, to try something new and look for better opportunities, this was a very big move. After taking a year off, on March of 2003 Tracy was hired at NYNY Hotel and casino. Tracy had a great time, made many new friends and worked there for the next 7 years. Starting off as a guest room attendant for 2 years and then moving on to the role of house person, Tracy worked in the picking station, linen department and then was promoted to supervisor, it was quite an experience. Due to health reasons Tracy was forced to leave his employment.

Tracy then got involved with SNAPI during the reign of Miss Las Vegas PRIDE 2009 JewDi Vine. He joined the parade committee, helped make costumes, performed at benefit shows and soon joined the parade committee on PRIDE road trips. Tracy was then asked to take a seat on the Las Vegas PRIDE board and joined the volunteer committee. He was with Las Vegas PRIDE from that day on, through the royalty reign of 2010 (Diva DeLafuentes and Andy Dubois), 2011 (Diana Prince and KC Golightly) and 2012 (Keyska Diva and Freddie Mcgriff).

Tracy joined the board to make a difference. He wanted to help teach and do outreach for the younger generation, especially if they are HIV POSITIVE, as he was since 1994. He said that he was “not here to preach, and not so much teach… but to share my experiences and how they can come over any negatives; how to be yourself and still live a fabulous life.”
