Charlottesville Pride Community Network will host virtual events throughout the year instead of one weekend festival
Cville Pride has planned ways for the community to celebrate Pride Month. (LGBTQ+ Pride parades and festivals began as a way to memorialize and continue the energy of the 1969 Stonewall riots, when gay bar attendees, mostly lesbians and trans women of color, resisted police brutality and ushered in the modern gay rights movement.)
First up: Pride is Everywhere Project
Cville Pride invites members and allies of the local LGBTQ+ to send or share photos of how they’re remembering Pride. Without the ability to gather in person, the organization wants to gather everyone together in images. Anyone interested in submitting a photo to the project can do so on Facebook or by email. Names and info can be kept confidential upon request.
Pop Up Pride
Later in the month, Cville Pride plans to host giveaway tables at area LGBTQ+ owned businesses
