Little Pridefests Everywhere and the Fluidity of Pride Organizing
Little Pridefests Everywhere and the waves of Pride organizing in Pittsburgh and Beyond. This is a draft of an essay I submmitted to multiple sites about the nature of a Pride festival. It was not accepted for publication because they publish Pride pieces in June. I think they missed my point. ~ Sue Once upon […]
Locally, Puttshack Sponsored Pridefest and Has a Month Long Promotion Supporting ‘It Gets Better’
We spend a lot of our time pointing out the corporate entities who cowed to the Trump Administration’s vicious mandates around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, especially Pride. So here’s a little about one company that is sponsoring Pride events by donating a percentage of profits during June. Puttshack Pittsburgh is partnering once again with the It […]
The Purrfect Pride Shirt for Cat Folx
Happy Pride. I did not go to Pittsburgh Pride because it was my final day of COVID quarantine. I did help distribute pet food, scooped several litter boxes, drafted a Q&A, and listened to a few episodes of a podcast about racial justice history. So that’s cool. I also received my first inquiry from a […]
Our 2025 List of Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania Pride Festivals – Now up to 88
I created a list of about 60 76 Pridefest events across Pennsylvania and in the tri-state area. Sadly, Google trashed my formatting so I’m going to have to go back and do that by hand. But you can use what I’ve shared to search Google or even FB/Instagram for details. It is very important that […]

A copy of this will be on display at Eons in Shadyside and a larger poster sized version in the lobby of the City County Building. WHEREAS, LGBTQ […]
Here’s What Happened When I Threw Out The First Pitch During Pride Night at PNC Park
The thing about anxiety is that it can be managed, especially if you have a plan and a support system. Managed, not cured or fixed. Throwing out the first pitch during a MLB game in front of many thousands of people during the official Pride Night is the sort of thing that generates some anxiety. […]
The White House Pride Reception
Tonight was the night. President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden hosted the annual Pride Reception at the White House. I was not invited. I can admit and for the sake of keeping an accurate record of the impact of this blog, I had hoped that the work leading to a second GLAAD Media Award would […]
Pride Anxiety
Today is Pride. We had plans to go with a friend to see the parade and walk around the festival. Then the thoughts crept into my mind. Last night, I was fretting about the hill we’d have to walk up from our car to the festival. What if I couldn’t climb the hill? What if […]
