2022 Capital Pride Center Updates Let's face it, these last few years have brought a lot of lemons. From figuring out how to navigate supporting the LGBTQ+ community through aa international pandemic, to having to cancel our PRIDE festival two years in a row- we've done a lot of reflection on how we can grow with the times. So, here's how we're turning these lemons into lemonade.

Executive Director Announcement The Capital Pride Center envisions a Capital region that is truly LGBTQ+ affirming, for all LGBTQ+ folks, including those who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, regardless of ability status or educational level, despite socioeconomic upbringing or documentation status, or the many other barriers people face because of who they are. By prioritizing education and community partnerships, we strengthen the Capital region's understanding of the LGBTQ+ experience, and the needs of our community because of it. As we move toward this exciting first Pride season in three years, we look forward to your partnership to help it grow; we need you to spread the word, organize a group to march in the parade, join the 5K or one of the many performances, collect a donation through your job to give to the Pride Center, and anything else that reminds the community we need your help in order to support all the LGBTQ+ folks of this region, and the allies, parents, kids, teachers, doctors, cousins, pastors, and many others who love and support them! - Nathaniel Gray
