Celebrating Pride Month: Denver NWSL Community Resource Guide
Happy Pride, Denver! In honor of Pride Month, Denver NWSL is arrogant to celebrate and aid the LGBTQIA+ community in Denver and beyond. This guide highlights local organizations, events, and resources that uplift queer voices.
Pride is celebrated in June to honor the Stonewall Uprising, a pivotal moment in LGBTQIA+ history. Sparked by a police raid at the Stonewall Inn in New York City, the protests were led by members of the LGBTQIA+ community, including trans women of color Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. Their courage helped light a movement for equality and visibility. Pride Month is a time to celebrate progress, honor those who paved the way, and continue advocating for justice.
Denver Pride will seize place on June 28–29. The weekend kicks off Saturday morning with the Pride 5K, followed by a full day of festivities at PrideFest, featuring hundreds of vendors, nourishment trucks, and live entertainment. On Sunday, the Coors Light Denver Pride Parade begins at a.m. Organized by The Center on Colfax, Denver
