It’s That Time Of Year Again, by which we obvs mean Pride! The only event when cargo shorts, lamé bikinis, and t-shirts that express an affiliation with a supportive political candidate or an interest in being dipped in chocolate and “thrown to the lesbians” are all equally appropriate. In many major cities, there are days of events, activities, speakers, parties, and parades. In smaller cities, it’s an opportunity for the queer community to be more visible than they usually get to be. And it’s a chance to hang out with your favorite queermo friends – or make new ones! Autostraddle would like to play the role of internet fairy godmother, and help facilitate Pride meetups for queers of all stripes. Are you going to a Pride event in your city? Would you like to be in charge of being a contact person for a meetup there?
Contact rachel [at] autostraddle [dot] com with your name and contact info that you’re ok with having put on the website if you’d like to help organize a meetup! Interested parties will email you, and the whole group of you can decide on where and when you want this to go down. Once you guys decide on the details of your meetup, let us know so we can put it here. If your city/Pride info isn’t included here and you’d like to to be, email me with that information! Let’s all make the world a better place and wave tiny plastic rainbow flags together!

Auckland
There’s no official June Pride in NZ, but the Kiwi-straddlers are having a meetup on June 9th at Rakinos (High Street, Auckland). Check out the meetup event page!
Pittsburgh isn’t on this list! Saturday is our Pride in the Streets even with Melissa Etheridge! And our Parade is on Sunday. Next Saturday is our Dyke March. Some other events have already taken place. I guess we like to get Pride over with quickly!
SAM !
I’m from CO, but am in Pitt for a couple of weeks and would LOVE to attend any AS Pride things that happen in Pitt, so let me know if hear of anything!
I’m also visiting and would love to meet up with some AS people!
I was looking for pgh too! I feel like Pride goes by so quickly here
Yeah, Pride here goes quickly. It’s kind of blink and you’ll miss it! Impulse, the monthly girl party, just had their Pre-Pride party last Saturday.
Pittsburghpride.org has a calendar which shows events, including this Saturday’s concert (I’d recommend going to that); Sunday’s parade (eh, it doesn’t compare at all to the other Pride parades I’ve been too – also it’s in the morning); Lez Liquor Hour next Friday; and then the Dyke-Trans March the next Saturday (https://www.facebook.com/events/371613089541197/).
There isn’t an active autostraddle group for pgh so it’s doubtful there will be a meet up. Ladies tend to stay in their collective groups here!
Hey I might actually be in New Orleans in time for this! Exciting!
Yeahhhh Chicagostraddlers! Us Omaha ladies will be meeting you fer sure! <3
Oh man, I’ve never managed to go to [Chicago] Pride before, and I desperately want to go. Why does it always fall on my homophobic mother’s birthday?! D:
I love that “July 8 )”in London turned into “July sunglasses smiley”. London be badass.
ALSO, TORONTO – If anyone wants to meet up with us before Pride, some of us will be congregrating at the opening of fellow Torontostraddler Catherine’s comedy open mic night. Next wednesday at slacks: https://www.facebook.com/events/302501696504980/
WOOOOOOO!
Awesome! We’ve added that info above!
Auckland is missing too! We’re have an Autostraddle meetup at Rakinos on Saturday night. Come drink cocktails and make some new friends.
YAY AS MEETUP NZ, IT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING!
Just added it, thanks Britt!
looks like some houston info ended up under the new orleans section! also, YEAAAHH new orleans pride! and if you can’t make this one, come back for southern decadence and more importantly DYKEADENCE on labor day weekend!
Thanks! We fixed it!
We don’t have official Pride stuff in Phoenix during June because of heat stroke obvs.
HOWEVER – we do have an ASphx email list! We are basically the best thing to ever happen in this state ever. True story.
Our next major meetup is on June 16th in downtown Mesa (hey oh!) for a PRIDE party party.
So yeah! If you want to be part of our exceptionally amazing meetup situations – just send me a message on here & I’ll add your name.
Wahooo Philly Pride!
There’s also a Dyke March: http://www.phillydykemarch.com/
Yay philly pride! Are you going to the dyke march?
pride starts at noon, but do you know when it ends? it’s the same day as odunde…
normally ends around 6.
thanks!
Yay Philly!
This is going to be my first pride parade… gotta say, I’m real nervous.
Yo Philly Queers!
Look for me!
Butch in jeans and black t-shirt, accompanied by cutest 8yo boy on the planet!…inadvertently cock blocking in the most adorable manner, lol—oh well, there’s always next year….enjoy y’all! :-)
HYDRATE !
…I now know why that was in all caps.
Next year, I’ll bring more than one water bottle. -dies-
Any DC-straddlers going to be there Sat? Or any other event? Let’s hang!
Seriously go to the Brightest Young Things Party Friday night. They had it last year at the newseum and it was hands down one of the most epic parties I have ever been too in DC…like it was amazing, and then managed to find an after party put on by Vitamin Water at Warehouse…ie a sponsored rave! It was one of the greatest nights of pride EVER!!! So buy tickets now and go, I have gathered a HUGE group of kids from my campus to go.
I’ll be pregaming the parade on Saturday afternoon on 17th Street and obviously the parade itself. Hit me up if you want to join! Should be awesome. :)
You should totally go to Booty.Rex (She.Rex- Pride Edition!) instead of the BYT thing on Friday – because Booty.Rex is free! Chief Ike’s in Adams Morgan, Friday, cheap beer, killer DJs, hot ladies, etc.
I loved Booty/She Rex so much when I lived in DC! Glad to see it’s still going strong. I added it to the list.
i will be @ booty rex
i (shilpa) will be at nellies, then byt, then booty.rex on friday. carmen where is the meet up for saturday? do you want to have it at my house?
Is there a meet up place for the parade on Saturday?
I’m moving to DC literally 4 days after Pride is over. Can I meet people too? I feel like this was really unfortunate timing on my part…
You’re moving to D.C? I live in the D.C. area. You should hit me up.
I just moved to DC on Monday! let’s hang!
I just sent you an email. I think…
I’ll be there! I’m so excited, I’m so excited, I’m so…. scared.
I’m definitely coming down from Harrisburg to go to Phase 1 Saturday. And I don’t even know anyone!
^^ballsy^^
I don’t know anyone either but I think I’m going to have go give it a go! yay!
it’s all good dude! i’ll shoot you a msg if you wanna meet up to head over tmrw let me know!
AHHHH! is it too late for info about the dc pride meetup?!
Thurs night in Boston there’s a QWOC+Friends party at the Milky Way in JP. It has consistently been the best party of pride every year I have gone.
Just added it, thanks!
It’s too late for Detroit Pride (last weekend)… so, if you have a time machine… you’re in luck.
But if not… I expect to see Michiganders at Fabulous Ferndale’s pride June 15th-17th. :)
loooongshot, but toledo pride, anybody?
dyke day LA (http://www.facebook.com/DykeDayLA) at barnsdall art park should really be on here! east side queers represent! ps i totes saw leisha hailey at it last year…!!
Thanks! We added it!
I’m just gonna try my luck here: Providence, RI anyone?
It’s happening on the 16th here! Come visit the table for The Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health and get free lube samples! Also, party with me. It’s a win win.
Yea Providence!
Just added to the list, thanks!
Ok, so I am not positive my phone was successful at emailing the powers that be, so I’ll post some info here:
6/16 RI Pride Expo/Marketplace · Noon to 8pm @ South Water Street.
That’s where the CSPH table/lube/I’ll be. Come!
Also, I made a FB group for us RI straddlers to get our meetups all set up and such. It’s currently two people strong, but hey! I know there’s more of you out there, so join here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/364837023586255/
Let’s be friends.
I did not realize until this year that June is Pride Month because Northampton inexplicably holds theirs in May.
ALSO CHICAGOSTRADDLERS: I JUST MOVED TO YOUR SUBURBIA. And I like to make friends. So hi!
I LIKE FRIENDS, TOO! Whereabouts did you move to?
I think they are known as the western suburbs, haha… my sense of direction is nonexistent. I’m only here for 2 months though while I be an intern.
But.. but… what about Montreal, THE CITY OF GORGEOUS RAPTORS?
I’m quite disappointed, AS.
Please include Montreal!
Ours is in Aug eh PLENTY OF TIME TO PLAN YOUR OUTFITS ‘MO
intern emily choo is in china, she usually takes care of meetups! no idea if she’ll be back for august pride stuff
i reckon allie will arrive shortly to suggest she and i co-opt the situation, which attempted to happen once but everyone is so crabby in the winter, present commenter included
Im crabby in the summer..is it because Im a “GORGEOUS RAPTOR”
Crabby gorgeous raptor? Talk to your doctor to see if the land before time is right for you. approvadispia needs to come back and explain the raptor reference b/c I don’t even know what is going on.
I’m crabby in the summer because F1 douchebags.. and I don’t even live on the island, but at least there isn’t SIXTY FEET OF SNOW EVERYWHERE
O Canada
BEST
Raptors are a reference to Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/actuallesbians
that’s what i thought! but i feared crossover from my two favorite sites.. the world is a tiny, tiny place..
I’ll be waiting for the information on a montreal meetup as well… :-)
No love for Denver, CO? Any other Autostraddlers going to be around June 16th-17th? Here’s more info: denverpridefest.org
Thanks Sarah — We added Denver to the post!
Thanks!
I’ll be there! Let’s make an AS meetup!
Ooh, me! Sarah, I just emailed ya.
^ (This is me, right before I found the member sign-up form. Just so ya don’t think I’m a creeper.) :)
Yep, you emailed me! So many Colorado Sarahs!
It’s a good name. All of the Sara(h)s I’ve known have been lovely people.
Fuckity fuck I wanna be at Toronto Pride but wedddding..hmm must assess priorities
gay wedding? cuz that could be almost the same, ya know?
I feel like my super conservative and probably homophobic brother purposefully scheduled his wedding on the day of Lexington’s pride because he hates me.
:( It’s not fair that anyone miss out on the fabulousness of lexington pride
Dude, I know. It’s so unfortunate. I had to miss last year too because of work.
Nashville Pride! I’ll be at the pride walk at 11 AM on the 16th! Any nashville people out there? anyone? don’t make me go with just my straight bestie….
Grand Rapids pride is hosting a film night and they are showing Jamie and Jessie Are Not Together which I am super excited about. Actually it’s the only GR pride event that is not heavily catered towards the male end of the LGBT spectrum.
I should be in San Francisco for Pride, which will be my 18th birthday celebration. :D
SF pride’s on my 18th too. :)
I don’t really want to be the contact person for Portland because I am very overwhelmed by everything I have going on right now, but if no one else volunteers I will be.
Gaah! I hope someone does something, because I know nothing about anything, and would be a garbage contact person.
But I just found out that Oaks Park is having a gay skate from 7-9 on Monday and everyone should come. I will be working in the snack bar, so I will be there, but not skating…
Any word on a meet-up for Portland? I just moved here and my girlfriend and a friend would love to hang out!
I am dying of jealousy, really! I’m pretty sure there is a Pride Parade here in this small country called Republic of the Philippines (like in Baguio City or Metro Manila) but how come I don’t see anything in the internet about it?! I really would like to march! It’s like Mecca to the Muslims to me: Even just once in my lifetime I want to attend the Gay Pride Parade! Even here in AutoStraddle I think there’s a few Filipina members. T___T Ping me if any of you have an idea about Philippine Gay Pride Parade 2012! To the others who will attend: Bless you and stay hot and proud! \m/
I’ll be at SF Pride! for my partying needs though, I think I’ll go to Cockblock’s pride party after Dyke March.
No mention of Dyke March in SF on Sat., June 23? http://thedykemarch.org/ Dolores Park
it’s in there!
Well I’m going to be in Germany this summer, so this is a ridiculously long shot, but any change anyone here is going to Munich pride? (14th-15th July)
nope, not munich. but you should check out vienna pride (12th-16th of june) …it’s basically just a short bike ride away :)
If something’s really happening for Houston Pride, I would definitely do my best to get the time off and come down there! Anyone from Austin want to carpool?
I’m (most likely) going to Houston pride! You should come down!
Omg! I will see what I can do!
I will be at Houston Pride! I’m interning for Planned Parenthood and they have a “float” so I might even be marching in it hehehe
I’m probably headed over to Houston for pride as well!
Anyone going to London? The parade/march is great fun but not sure what’s happening after – Trafalgar Square (if they’re having anything there this year) is usually a bit dull. So AS meet up would be fab!!
I need to do some research!
I’m in! I extended my stay here this summer specifically for Pride.
Hey Capri, drop me a message!
I’ve got exams and then going to a festival.. ahhh I would love to do this!
I’ll see if I can get down to Pride. I applied to be a volunteer, than forgot all about it… I really ought to chase that up.
No chance anyone UK based is heading north for Pride? Newcastle/Northern Pride 21st July, me and my lady will be there! Look for the tanned girl with the heavy European accent and the rainbow coloured cornrows, I’ll be the short brunette next to her ;)
‘rainbow coloured cornrows’
!!!
Happy Pride Month!
I’ve never been to Boston Pride and I’m skipping it for BK but I’m going to be helping set up the Dyke March! Hopefully I’ll make it to the meet up! I’m helping set up, if anyone else is, I look like my picture!
P
I can’t believe I’ve been going to Pride for five years!
Also, this is my first legal drinking age Pride season, woah.
Morgan, come find me! I’ll probably be at Dyke March after-party at Caprice Lounge too.
Detroit’s Motor City Pride is the first weekend of June.
Don’t forget us Lou ‘Mos: Pride Fest St. Louis, June 23-24, Tower Grove Park. Pride Parade, Sunday Noon. http://pridestl.org/

Any straddlers going to Columbus, OH pride next weekend? I’m supes excited to see my favorite city filled with queers :)
yes yes yes! I am!
Yes! I’m bringing a whole bunch of people with me!
I’ll be there. I was wondering if any other AS would be there…
Minneapolis starts with bar parties on June 21, festival the 23rd and 24th, parade on the 24th, with parties every night to tickle most fancies.
I am incredibly pants at planning things, and am not really up on what’s going on with Pride, but I would love to meet other Twin Cities Autostraddlers! So clearly someone should get on that.
i’m like 99.9% i’m going to be on an air force base during knoxville pride
i’d have to go with straight people anyway
YEEAH different year same problemssss
Dublin? Or do we all know each other already?
I’m in Kansas City and we had our Pride this past weekend. I wish there were an Autostraddle meetup here. Then I wouldn’t have had to go all by myself!
I’m probably the only Autostraddler in KC anyway :-/
Hi, Joleen!
I’m in Lawrence right now but am moving to Parkville soon. If you count the metro you won’t be the only KC-straddler. :)
Really?! That is awesome! I live really close to Parkville! Let’s be friends :)
Sooooooo unbelievably excited for Toronto Pride! :D
You should do a Manchester (UK) one!
New Orleans info is still incorrect. It still has the information for Houston in that section.
Lemon fixed it for real, thanks for letting us know!
hey, is there any way to get stuff added to the new orleans section?
oh, i just found that out. reading helps
hi! so i just added a bunch of cities, like Grand Rapids and Nashville and Vienna and St. Louis and Minneapolis!
also, Carrie added some things too!
also, you should keep checking back for updated meetup contacts!
also, i fixed NOLA!
Ooh I just realised I’m in Helsinki, Finland this year for their Pride celebrations. Any Finnish Autostraddlers?!?!
I’m in Helsinki and am about to email Rachel my contact details to add to the list!
I’m so excited for SF pride! I’ll be at the dyke march, looking excited/nervous/foreign. -bounces around-
Gay Pride Amsterdam is Saturday August 4th. I don’t know if there are any more Dutchies or people who live in the Netherlands on AutoStraddle, but I would love to meet up somewhere. :)
What about San Diego Pride? It’s July 20th-22nd but so far I will be going by myself and that will be sad.
Woo Toronto pride! Even though I have to catch a flight right after what I’m expecting to be a late night Saturday, my priorities are set.
WOO HOO GAY CHRISTMAS!
I would have herded a well-overdue Paris meet-up, but I just remembered I am going to be elsewhere for the week-end.
But just for the hell of it: People! Paris meet-up! Drop everything and stop the presses, AutoFrance is happening.
Anyone live near/going to the D.C., Baltimore, Annapolis ones? (I don’t know if Annapolis has one but I live near there too so I figured I’d mention it… :D )
might go to the baltimore one. it will be my first pride event!
Mine too!!
hooray! not sure how we will find each other but awesome just the same
I’m going to the Baltimore one! I think it will be my fourth time? But possibly my third. We should do a meet-up!
Anyone here in Christchurch, New Zealand wanna meet up? :)
I’d consider being the contact person for Cleveland Pride if no one else steps up since I might be volunteering at the event. But I dislike committing to things, have crap organizational skills and am exhausted from work. Fair warning but we’ll see…see all you Clevelanders at Voinovich Park.
ooh! the toronto things (especially the dyke march) sound like buckets of fun but i have no queer friends (or straight friends that would like to go)
can someone adopt me for pride?
i’m really nervous to go to pride for the first time! :S the only gay girl i’ve ever met is my gf (no joke.) i don’t even know what to do! does anyone have tips? thanks ^_^
well since orlando’s is in october/sort of just happened last week. st. pete (florida) pride anyone?
i’m not sure yet if i’m going but:
Saturday, June 30, 2012 // http://www.stpetepride.com/
I definitely want to go this year. I’ve never been but it will depend if I can sweet talk my gf into coming with
I really want to go too! It would be awesome if we could meet up.
Brooklyn Pride is this Saturday.
No Vancouver?!?!!? But dyke march!!!!
I was hoping for Vancouver too!

re: vienna pride
this is the website :http://www.viennapride.at/wordpress/programm (unfortunately the english version is ‘being edited’ since forever)
there is a ‘pride village’ at city hall from the 12th-16th, open every day from 11am -11pm.
a lot of shot film showings and discussions and workshops are happening
parade is on the 16th
15th-17th are pride parties around town (http://www.viennapridenight.at/)
also worth checking out are the ‘rainbow-tours’ . guided tours about queer history/queer studies at University of Vienna -> http://event.univie.ac.at/en/guided-tours/rainbow-tours/
Columbus Pride!
I’d love to meet all the other autostraddlers in my hood.
Is there any way I can be the contact person, but maybe only for a shorter event? Like, say we all go get some Jeni’s?
OMG JENI’S!!!!! My girlfriend and I have been discussing which flavors to get all week. Have you seen the plum sake?! ::dies::
My friends and I are going to Jeni’s for pride! Let’s meet up!
I’m so in. Warm weather = all the flavors of icecream.
No love for Montreal?
Anyone in D.C. seeing Sharon Needles, Dita Ritz, and Phi Phi O’Hara at Town tonight(6/8)? So pumped. Not so much for Phi Phi…
Oh lord I need to request days off for the trans march & dyke march! SF Pride is the only pride I’ve been to but it’s always great (minus the corporate love during the entire thing).
Edinburgh or Glasgow anyone?
Glasvegas foreverrrr.
I think there’d be a couple of AS-ers up for a Glasvegas Pride…
I am going to be in the middle of Montana for most of the summer, and am sadly missing any remotely convenient pride events. However, I am moving to Virginia in August (terror!), and Richmond pride is September 29th! Any other Virginians here going?
Hey, are people still hanging out in Philly tomorrow?
Is there a meetup happening this weekend for sf pride? HELP! (hit me up — http://www.tumblr.com/blog/askallthequestions)
Anyone for Pride Brighton??
