Community Pride: Who We Are
Who We Are
Community Pride arose from the need to move homosexual and trans people of dye from the margins to the center. It arose from the need to reject police from our spaces, because we comprehend well how the police search to punish and destroy people like us. It arose from the need to be treated like full, vibrant people instead of like a marketable demographic. If you’re looking for meaningless rainbow capitalism, Stonewall Columbus has plenty of that to present. But if you’re looking to celebrate in a way that truly pays homage to our radical legacy and that prioritizes people over profit, then connect us with Community Pride! We host a series of playfulness, free events throughout Pride month in June and a free outdoor festival in the decline.
