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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Now with more than 75 60 events May through October. Pride season is here for 2024. There are so many events across the Commonwealth and in the Tri-State Area that I decided to create a list. It is not fancy. We are not endorsing any of these events. And any missing information is purely an […]
Pittsburgh’s LGBTQIA+ Commission worked with Pittsburgh City Council and Mayor Ed Gainey’s office to draft the official City Proclamation recognizing LGBTQIA+ Pride in the City of Pittsburgh.

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 […]
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 […]
There’s always a lot going on with Pride month in this region. But rarely a calendar that’s current or robust. Over at the Pittsburgh LGBTQ Community Facebook group, we have you covered. My co-moderator Morgan created a thread on all Pride events. No chit chat, no debates, no arguments. Just a listing of events. So […]
Last week, friends set up a meal train for us to help me with my struggle to eat. It has been a lovely resource and quite effective. Dinner is handled most nights giving Laura a bit of breathing room with all the home stuff she has to manage in addition to her job and all […]
