It's that time of the year again when we celebrate the rich history of the LGBTQ+ community. Join us in commemorating this special occasion by creating our exclusive 2023 LGBTQ+ History Month Background, featuring digital pictures of individuals who have made significant contributions to Columbus, GA history. We believe that many deserving individuals often go unnoticed for their hard work, which is why we want to give them the recognition they deserve. If you know someone who you would like to honor for the 2023 LGBTQ+ history month, please reach out to us via Messenger. Simply send us their picture and a brief bio, and we will proudly display them in this year's edition.

We extend our gratitude to all LGBTQ+ citizens and allies for their continuous efforts in promoting equality, diversity, and love for all mankind. Your contributions are truly appreciated. Let's celebrate together and make this year's LGBTQ+ History Month unforgettable.

Thank you so very much to our 5 donors who have donated for our Annual Pride Month Fundraiser. We still have a long way to go to reach our $1500 goal, but one thing I know is that the people will come thru and ensure our agency has the capitol to keep marching forward over the next few months. We need your support this year more than ever before. Inflation has caused our agency several budgeting issues. We made it through Pride, But we still have more to do and accomplish.
So everyone take a moment today and Give as Much as You Can Give. We thank you in advance and again thank our 5 donors who have already given. If you can't give....please share this on your page and encourage others to give today.
Thank you all and Happy Pride Month!

Exciting week. We have so much going on. We have tonight's LGBTQ support group that meets 7:30 PM on zoom. Please find the details on the page. Make sure you register ahead of time. Then tomorrow is our 12 hour marathon. For sponsors, we need sponsors. Still, I thought that this being our 10th anniversary, everybody would want to be signing up. But I know the political climate might not be the best time for you, but it is the right time for you to show the L GB TQ community that you stand with them, and not just fly by nighT supporters. Our community puts a lot of dollars into every one of these organizations pockets around Columbus, GA. And then we'll be making sure that see who is there and who is not, who has a sticker on their door, and who doesn't. Then Thursday night, we have the honor of hosting the first ever drag pageant from CSU, which will take place over on Broadway campus. Only students are invited to come to this event. And then, don't forget, Saturday night is Giovanni's. And the big power productions when I have a great time with Matasha and friends, including Candy O'hara and Cherry O'CHERRY. Also, we still have the current individual sponsorship drive. You don't have to be a business or organization to sponsor pride. You can be just a simple John or Jane Doe. And yes, you can put your whole family on the ticket, 'cause you'll all get a digital certificate, and it only costs $50. But of course, you can give more. And we greatly appreciate all that you do to help. The 10th annual Columbus, GA, LGBTQ Pride Festival, be a tremendous success.

Just wanted to let everyone know that our postcards for advertising the Columbus GA LGBT Pride Festival, 10th annual, have come in. If you would like for us to stop by and put some in your location or store front, please let us know. Contact 7065806239. And we'll make sure we get them by there to you as soon as possible. Thank you so much for helping. It's a word out about this upcoming 10th annual Pride Festival for Columbus, GA. Remember, always be you.

IT'S GIVING TUESDAY AND WE ARE STRIVING TO RAISE $1K BY END OF DAY. WE NEED YOUR HELP AND GENEROSITY TO ENSURE WE MEET THIS VERY CRUCIAL GOAL OF $1K

Hate Will NOT Win!
After several attacks upon our Broadway events and personal attacks upon myself. We are Still steadfast in our journey? To ensure that all people No matter what color they are no matter what s*x they are, no matter what socioeconomic status they come from No matter what their disability might be, no matter what their age may be, no matter what their s*xual orientation is or their gender identity is. We will continue marching forward, Working hard to ensure equality is for all people living. And that no one Ever gets left behind Or felt to be left out. The proud Boys can do and say whatever they want. They did not win in this case. The children won because they will not be influenced by this hate. What I do need from our community is people to call the library and say that you want drag Queen story time to be held there. You can call the Mildred Terry Library or the Macon Rd Library. Either one will be fine and sufficient, but we need the voice of our community to stand up and say, hey, we want this program. And we need it now. Be sure to inbox me with all your calls. Let me know you've called so I can get a count to make sure that when I call to make the appointment. There is a public record That the public wants it!
