Iowa Pride Events
June is Pride month for many communities, and there are many events planned in and around Iowa. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or an ally, showing up and celebrating Pride at these events is a great way to support your LGBTQ+ community. Now more than ever our presence in Pride events will give our LGBTQ+ youth the message that we are in solidarity as they face attacks from Iowa legislators and those emboldened by those legislators. And, of course, Pride events are unparalleled fun for everyone!
