WELCOME TO THE 2024 PRIDE PAGES DIRECTORY It was a year where we welcomed you back. We saw a significant return to the things we do, as a community. The significant growth in LGBTQ events saw a larger number of people attending them. That also includes our First Thursday events that we proudly produce for you. It has been such an honor and a pleasure to welcome you, our cherished readers. We are truly glad to see you celebrating with us. The celebration will continue into 2024. The coming year will see the publishing of our 750th issue in February 2024. Few community publications in the United States have ever achieved this duration. It is a milestone that we are proud of. Our annual Pride Pages Issue is not only a directory of fantastic LGBTQ and Allied businesses throughout the Twin Cities and beyond; it is a celebration of unity and inclusion, of compassion and endurance. Here’s to this wonderful compendium of local LGBTQ and Allied businesses for your perusal. Here’s to good health, to you, and here’s to our future together!
