Pride Month is a time for the LGBTQ+ community and allies to come together in celebration, and also to raise awareness about current issues. Even in times of social distancing, it is still important to recognize and celebrate Pride.
Pride celebrations are unexpectedly different this year, but there are many virtual events to provide an inclusive, educated, and entertaining experience. Here are several resources for Pride events hosted in Seattle and around the world.
The iconic Seattle Pride Parade is hosting a variety of engaging, informative, and fun virtual events for anyone to enjoy. From dance parties to educational discussions, you can find all of the Seattle Pride events listed on their website.
