PDXWIT loves to celebrate the rich diversity of our community. At this year’s Pride Happy Hour event, our theme’s all about Peace, Love, and Revolution!
During Pride month, we honor the courage of trans women, including trans women of color, and other vulnerable communities that were on the frontlines of 1969’s Stonewall uprising in the struggle for equal rights.
That struggle hasn’t ended. If anything, it’s become an outright revolution in the 21st century. And PDXWIT is in it for the long haul.
Come one, come all, and join PDXWIT and our host, DAT, in celebration of our LGBTQIA+ community! Together, we can continue to create a better world together, for each other, and for generations to come.
