PRIDE 2017

Written By Holly Mason

It is a tradition dating back to 1970, with the nation’s first Pride Parade in honor of the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. Here in June of 2017, there will be weeks filled with events and parades commencing around the nation in support of the LGBTQIA+ community. Be sure to check out the Pride events happening in your area (all cities are listed in this calendar).

To our readers in the DC area, DC/ NOVA PRIDE is THIS week, June 5th-11th, with the parade on Saturday, June 10th.  See you this weekend!

In Celebration, Love, and Support,

The So to Speak Staff
