Pride Month is a time filled with joy, love, and acceptance, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and its vibrant culture.

Fast forward to 2024, and the excitement is palpable across Northeastern cities as Pride Month events and activities are in full swing.

Milwaukee, known for its vibrant LGBTQ scene, is gearing up for a spectacular Pride Month with nine local events that promise entertainment and empowerment. PrideFest, a beloved tradition spanning over 35 years, stands out as Wisconsin's largest LGBTQ celebration, offering a weekend filled with music, drag performances, and educational experiences.

Meanwhile, in West Virginia, the Rainbow Pride of West Virginia kicked off the festivities even before June arrived. The city of Charleston set the stage with a Drag Race & Block Party on May 31, setting the tone for a month of inclusivity and celebration of diversity.

As the LGBTQIA+ community unites in solidarity and visibility, these events serve as powerful reminders of the progress made in promoting equality and acceptance for all. Join the celebrations, embrace diversity, and spread love this Pride Month!
