RuCo Pride on Instagram

Friends, we were made aware last night that our Instagram page had been suspended. We apologize if any of you tried to find us and weren't successful. We were able to appeal the suspension and it was immediately reversed. Our account is back on Instagram We don't know the exact reason for the suspension, but hopefully it won't be an issue again.

If you ever notice our Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or website is inaccessible, please don't hesitate to reach out to us on another platform or by email at [email protected] and we will look into asap. Thanks for being the best part of RuCo Pride!

RuCo Pride is aware of the recent reinstatement of the TN Drag Ban following a lawsuit being dismissed at the federal appeals level. We are looking into the ramifications it may or may not have on our events and will address them if necessary. For now, know that this changes nothing about who we are, what we do, or how we operate.

Thank you to everyone who loves and supports us. We love you!

The Ruthies are back, and our very own Missy Lay is a nominee! Missy Lay owns Wild Goose Chase Events AND is the mastermind behind our monthly and annual events. Without her, we would be so lost. Please consider going to vote for her, under the Entertainment & Leisure-People category, in the Planner-Event/Wedding subcategory. Also up for nomination is a huge supporter of ours, Home Brewing, owned by our dear friend Jim Africano. You can find him in the Wine Selection section. You can vote for every category once per day.

The Ruthie's Community's Choice Awards Celebrating the best businesses and organizations in the Murfreesboro area!

Did you know today is International Drag Day? Today, we are excited to celebrate our amazing performers who express themselves in magical ways, putting themselves out there, sometimes as targets, in our community.

International Non-Binary People's Day is observed each year on July 14th and is aimed at raising awareness and organising around the issues faced by non-binary people around the world. We love our non-binary family and we are glad you're here.

Did you know this week is Non-Binary Awareness Week? It leads up to International Non-Binary People's Day July 14th!

"The term non-binary refers to people who do not identify with the gender binary of male and female. Many identities fall within this umbrella term, such as genderfluid, agender, and genderqueer. Some people may identify with certain aspects about the gender binary, potentially fluctuating between the two oppositional categories. However, others may reject it completely."

We love you just the way you are and we are glad you're a part of our family.

We love seeing all your pics from this year's celebration! Be sure to tag us in your pics and use !

While there is still a lot of work to do, we do recognize that we do have some freedoms that others around the world don't. With that said, we wish you a happy and safe Independence Day. We hope it's spent with your chosen family and that you feel loved.

We weren't able to show the videos themselves at RuCo Pride 2024, but we made sure the crowd heard them. Now, we want to make sure everyone has a chance to see our friends from across the globe! Thank you to the fabulous Priyanka, the dazzling Sasha Velour, and the outstanding contributors. Enjoy!

As a mutual aid project, we want to connect with groups with similar goals as LCP. If you are involved in a similar organization or would like to suggest an organization, please email us at [email protected]. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
