Rhode Island Pride

We see you, Newport Pride! 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️
As we continue through Pride Month and move toward Rhode Island Pride’s 50th Anniversary weekend, we are proud to support all things Pride, not only during one weekend, but throughout the month and all year long.
Pride is community. Pride is visibility. Pride is showing up for each other across Rhode Island and beyond.
We will continue keeping the momentum going through the events we are hosting, supporting, and sharing, because every gathering matters and every community deserves to be seen.
Join Newport Pride for their Last Friday LGBTQIA+ Social and kick-off to Newport Pride Fest with community, music, art, snacks, and ceramics from Katie Wood.
We are PROUD. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️
We are UNITED. 🤝
WE ARE THE PEOPLE. ✊

Pride is history, and history is still being made. 🌈
Thank you to The LGBTQ+ Network, South Coast Massachusetts for highlighting this powerful moment.
As we honor the history that brought us here, we must also celebrate the people making history right here and right now. Qween Jean’s historic Tony Award win is a reminder that visibility matters, representation matters, and every victory opens another door.
This year, as Rhode Island Pride celebrates its 50th Anniversary, we are not just remembering history. We are standing in it, celebrating it, and helping create what comes next.
On this 50th Anniversary, we all have the opportunity to show up, be part of the celebration, and be part of history.
We celebrate love.
We celebrate freedom.
We celebrate the right to be seen, safe, respected, and fully ourselves.

Pride is celebration, but it is also history. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
Today, we remember the anniversary of the 🇺🇸U.S. Supreme Court’s Bostock decision, a major victory affirming workplace protections for LGBTQIA+ people.

We need to know where we have been, what we have overcome, and what was fought for, so we never go backward.
That is why we remain unapologetically proud.
We celebrate every victory, big and small.
We celebrate love.
We celebrate freedom.
We celebrate the right to be safe, seen, respected, and fully ourselves.
We are PROUD.
We are UNITED.
WE ARE THE PEOPLE.
