🌈✨ Pride Month is here — and we’re showing up loud, visible, and unapologetic. This month is about joy, resistance, community, and celebrating every part of who we are. Especially for Black LGBTQ+ people, Pride is more than a party — it’s survival, love, culture, and freedom in motion. 🖤

​True celebration requires remembrance. To kick off the month, we are diving deep into the roots that built this movement. 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀—from the powerful activists at Stonewall to the birth of official Black Pride spaces. ✊🏾❤️

​To every le***an, q***r, trans, nonbinary, and LGBTQ+ person: you deserve spaces where you are seen, protected, celebrated, and loved out loud. Happy Pride Month from our community to yours. 🏳️‍🌈

​Houston, get ready — this summer we’re continuing to build spaces FOR us and BY us. Stay connected. The movement is growing. 🌈🔥

🌸Rainy Day Update! ⛈️🫂

​They say the rain is supposed to clear out, but we aren't taking any chances with your fit! We’ve made sure everything is set up so you can stay dry and dive straight into the fun:

​No Waiting Outside: Walk directly into the venue! We are opening the doors so you can skip the sidewalk and head straight to the action.
​Gear Check: We’ll have a designated spot at the door to take your umbrellas and rain jackets so you don't have to carry them around.

​Treat Yourself: To keep the vibes high, we have complimentary hors d'oeuvres waiting for everyone as you arrive. 🥂🥘

​Don't let a few drops stop the move—the atmosphere inside is already warm and ready for you. See you tonight!
