Pride season is finally upon us!
Now that our favorite time of year is finally here, it’s time to start organizing your calendar so you can fit in as many parades, parties, and protests as possible.
Pride Month has always been about protest as much as celebration, but with the LGBTQ+ community under attack from the Trump administration and conservative politicians all over America, it is more important than ever for us to stand together, show our strength, fight back against an oppressive government, celebrate our collective queer joy, and party the night away. Yes, we need to fight, but Pride Month is also about coming together in community to have fun together and forget your worries for a while surrounded by other queer people.
So let’s all come together in solidarity, demand our civil rights, and celebrate with a month-long party! Not only do we have every Pride celebration in the U.S., but we’ve also go you covered if you’re looking for Black Pride events or Dyke Marches.
Don't see an event you're excited about? Email us at news@equalpide.com and we'll add it to the calendar.
