Pride has always been an act of resistance; born from Black and Brown Trans women at Stonewall, from disabled activists, sex workers, immigrants, and poor and unhoused people who refused to disappear quietly.
Pride was never about comfort or permission. It was about survival, solidarity, and fighting back.
Intersectionality is not a buzzword here. It is our reality. None of us are free unless all of us are free.
Queer history has always been shaped by rebellion. By protest, by mutual aid, by underground networks, by punk scenes and grassroots movements that insisted on building community even when the world tried to shut the door. From ACT UP to zines, from street protests to chosen family, our communities have always turned resistance into culture and love into action.
In a time when our rights, our bodies, and our communities are once again being targeted, love itself becomes radical. Showing up for one another becomes punk. Care becomes rebellion. We gather not because it is easy, but because it is necessary.
This year, Chelan Pride stands loud, unapologetic, and rooted in radical love as we celebrate our fifth annual festival. Join us at Riverwalk Park for an afternoon of community, art, music, vendors, resources, and connection. No permission needed.
