Y’all, we are taking over the Brick for Pride After Dark (21+)

Where are you?

06/15/2024

We’ll post more later, but really quickly:

Thanks so much for all the support for the third consecutive* year. It was absolutely amazing seeing each and every one of your beautiful and wonderful and fabulous selves.

Speeches and Strut were amazing. The Social was soooo much fun. From what I hear, the Teen Social is going great currently, and I’m looking forward to impressing everyone with my karaoke tonight.

Seriously, all the love for all of you, and thanks to Peaches The Photobooth for this awesome photo.

(We’d love to see your photobooth photos, and any other photos you want to share with us!)

For three years we have had one business that jumped on board Fuquay Pride and sponsored us before we even asked for sponsors.

Thank you!!

Final planning meeting with most (not quite all) of your Fuquay-Varina Pride Celebration 2024 Planning Committee.

We are so very excited to see you tomorrow for our third annual Pride Celebration.

We will be live streaming all of our speeches tomorrow.

Please message the page with pictures that you want to share- or go ahead and post them in the comments! Or email them to [email protected]

Reminders for tomorrow:

*Wear sunscreen and clothes that you will be comfortable in for hot weather.
*Bring your reusable water bottle and keep yourself hydrated.
*Dogs are *not* permitted in Council Gym for the speeches, nor may they accompany us on the Strut. That’s a requirement for our event permit.

We love you and are so very happy that we get to celebrate with the perfect and amazing you, exactly as you are. ❤️🏳️‍🌈❤️

THIS POST HAS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BEYOND THAT WHICH WAS COMMUNICATED LAST NIGHT: Mainly, our permit for the Strut does not include pets. Please do not strut with your pets, as this can place our future ability to strut in jeopardy.

******

Some things to consider if you’re thinking about bringing your dog with you to Fuquay-Varina Pride Celebration 2024

*It will be HOT. Dog paws can burn on asphalt. Consider booties for your dog and try and keep them in the shade.

*again, it will be HOT. Please bring water and a water dish for your dog.

*Dogs can get sunburn too! Shade, shade, shade.

*Dogs are not permitted into Council Gym for the speeches. If your dog wants to hear the speeches, this page will be live streaming them.

*Our permit for the Strut does *not* include pets. It has been made clear to us that pets are not permitted to strut with us. (It’s also going to be super duper hot, so pets would probably prefer to be chauffeured if possible)

*Dogs must be leashed at all times

*Some people are nervous of dogs. Please be very cognizant of this fact, and give people space.

Hey, Teens!
Stick Boy Bread Co. Fuquay-Varina is hosting the Teen Social, and we know they are super excited about offering a safe and very fun place for y’all to just be YOU.

Button making, cupcake decorating, and open mic.

We also recognize that teens may not be on Facebook, so this is shared on instagram as well- and please pass it on to the teens in your life!

That QR code will take you to the open mic signup- this link here:

LGBTQ+ folx have been part of the American Military since its very beginning.
Take, for example, Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben who implemented military training that reformed the entire Continental Army and is known as one of the fathers of the US Army.

06/11/2024

We’ve UPDATED our event flyer…
Can you see what’s changed?

No need to guess, it’s Prismatic Open Mic!
This event is for all ages, and is happening at Oaklyn Springs Taproom at 505 Broad St in Fuquay-Varina (just a few doors down from the Mason Jar Lager Co).
Q***r and ally musicians are invited to perform.

We can now count the days until Fuquay-Varina Pride Celebration 2024 one ONE HAND.

That’s it. I’m not gonna give you any factoids about the number 5.

If you want you can ask me for some in person on Saturday, June 15th- because that’s when we get to hang out together!

Check out the full schedule of events by clicking on the link to the event, or look at any of the pinned posts on the page.

There will be a table at the Fuquay-Varina Pride Celebration 2024 Social at The Mason Jar Lager Company giving away free plant cuttings! There will be different types of cuttings available, but the supply is limited.

Take a piece of pride home and watch it grow all year!

06/09/2024

We still need some help!
We need:
*One more 10x10 canopy
*Several more people to help set up at Mason Jar Laver Co for the Social
*Several more people to help tear down after the social
*An ASL interpreter for our speeches
*Some more snacks for the youngest folks at the Pride Social.

If you can help us in these ways, you please let us know using the sign up genius!

I could give you a bunch of factoids about the number 6.
For example, hexagons are six sided shapes which you can find all over in nature- such as in honeycombs.
6 feet is one fathom, a standard guitar has 6 strings, the 6th sense is considered proprioception (the sense of one’s body in space) and not the ability to see dead people.

But- you don’t really want all that nerdy stuff, because you and I both know one fact that is way cooler than all of those facts:

In SIX DAYS we will be celebrating together at Fuquay-Varina Pride Celebration 2024!!!

June 15th, you and me and all the other awesome people- it’s a date. 🏳️‍🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈
