How was it? Hope you had a great time!

It was pretty good. Smaller than last year, but with everything going on politically here, I'm not surprised

Yeah, I’m really glad people still feel comfortable expressing who they are.

Hope that won’t change soon

Gah, finished 1923 and it had me weeping like a baby just like 1883s ending did

I'm even nervous about going to Seattle Pride this year. The sense of community is always worth it, but I'm not going to pretend I don't worry about safety.

It’s a huge disappointment that we still have to worry about our safety for just existing (not just us queer people) in 2025. Worst of all, it seems like we’re going back to even scarier times

Honestly. I think Seattle is probably one of the safer spots to go compared to other states

When is Seattle Pride?

Grand Rapids, MI has a vibrant, active LGBTQ+ community. On the local news, they have covered area festivals, had a special about LGBTQ+/Pride celebrations, and it's all covered very positively. The GRPD has an LGBTQ liaison person, and she was interviewed on the 6pm news. The police chief said he was behind all the celebrations 100%, and that he valued the community.

Everytime someone brings up Pride or some Pride event, I'm a little jealous because I've never gone at any of them

Definitely go, if you ever get the chance. It’s totally worth it. The sense of community, the empowerment, the music and the dancing is so worth it. And who can forget the drag queens!

Any protesters seem so small compared to how bright we all shine on pride.

As I’m sure you can assume, you still need to be careful and observant, all are strangers, after all. Always go with people you know, and depending on how the parade is treated in your area, stay in the middle of the crowd, and a little to the front.

Even though pride has taken a more celebratory role nowadays (which isn’t really a bad thing), it’s nice to remember why it started, and the importance of continuing to go, through which we advocate for our community, not letting in fade away in dark times
