Dedicated Email - Monday - 12/31/2024 - DoStuff - Pride

One thing I hope people remember this year is that Pride can look different for everyone. Maybe you're dancing until 2 a.m. covered in glitter. Maybe it's your first Pride and you're feeling a little nervous. Maybe you're bringing your kids to a family event, supporting a queer friend, or quietly figuring yourself out. Maybe you're celebrating because life is beautiful, or because choosing joy feels like an act of resistance. All of those versions belong here.

🪩 For the late-night legends: 

• Birdhouse Pride Fest

• Hot New Lesbian Party

• Man Up Pride & more.

🌈 For everyone:

• Vancouver Pride Parade

• Vancouver Pride Run & Walk

• Davie Village Pride Fest & more.

🌿 For the quiet queers:

• Pride Kickoff Silent Disco & Drag

• BranchingOUT

• The Real Sunday Day Drag Brunch & more.

If I can make one more request, it's this: support queer communities beyond Pride weekend. Buy your coffee from queer-owned cafés. See queer musicians. Shop local queer artists. Tip your drag performers. Read queer books. Donate if you're able. Show up when it's easy, but also when it's hard. Pride didn't start as a party, it started as people demanding to exist safely and openly. We get to celebrate today because of the folks who came before us, and we owe it to the next generation to keep showing up.

Whether you're queer, questioning, or the world's greatest ally, I hope this guide helps you find something that makes you feel connected. See you out there!
