Pride of Color

Pride of Color is a collectively organized space, to celebrate Queer Black, Indigenous, Asian American, Latinx, Pacific Islander, etc. communities and our joy. We will have food, local organizations, artists, performances, and most importantly, culture! Join us as we honor the LGBTQ+ communities of color in the Orlando area and beyond, our voices both past and present, and our rich history.

In 2021, The Orlando Queer & Trans Asian Association created Pride of Color. The intention of the event was to create an annual admission-free space to celebrate queer Black, Indigenous, Asian American, Latinx, Pacific Islander, etc. communities that is free of corporate entities and policing.

The organization had the following rules in mind:

1. To empower LGBTQ+ communities of color in the Orlando area and beyond.

2. To honor the LGBTQ+ Black, Indigenous, Asian American, Latinx, Pacific Islander, etc. voices both past and present.

3. To highlight LGBTQ+ BIPOC history in the Orlando area and beyond.
   

The first annual Pride of Color was Saturday, October 23, 2021, and then on Saturday, June 24, 202, in partnership with Peer Support Space.
