12-7pm
Columbus' alternative Pride celebration for LBTQ+ BIPOC since 2018. Community Pride arose from the need to move queer and trans people of color from the margins to the center. It arose from the need to reject police from our spaces, because we know well how the police seek 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 offer. 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 join us with Community Pride! We host a series of fun, free events throughout Pride month in June and a free outdoor festival in the fall. Support grassroots, QTPOC-led projects and come to Community Pride!
