HAPPY PRIDE!

Each June, we celebrate PRIDE by honoring our past and respecting the elders who started our movement at Stonewall and beyond. This June, we will be celebrating at several events. Be sure to check out our calendar and save those dates!

When selecting PRIDE events to support, PRIDE products to purchase, and brands waiving rainbows, be sure to know where the support goes and who it supports. We love it when LGBTQIA+ individuals thrive, but we don’t love it when Rainbow Dollars end up in the wrong hands. Las Vegas PRIDE is an all-volunteer organization with many hard-working, unpaid individuals who make Las Vegas PRIDE happen, and you can trust that the funds generated go right back into making Las Vegas PRIDE better and better.

This June is also just the beginning of our upcoming election cycle. Get OUT and VOTE! Do a little research and early vote, mail vote, or plan to vote on election day at ANY polling site around town. You can hand deliver your completed (AND SIGNED) mail ballot to the box at any polling location. You are not required to vote for every possible race, so even if you only have one strong vote to cast, you’re welcome to do as many or as few as you want. We need ALL voices to join together to make our society better each and every day.

We are also gearing up for October 11 and 12, 2024 – come OUT with PRIDE this National Coming OUT Day Weekend!
