Reclaim Pride Coalition logo

Jay Walker, Co-Founder, Reclaim Pride Coalition

  • About: The complex proliferation of Parades as the model for Pride Celebrations internationally is deeply disturbing… to many people in the LGBTQIA2S+ communities.  In the city of New York, home to the Stonewall Inn, a group of Queer activists decided the Parade in NYC had gone too far —  too far from the spirt of the Stonewall Rebellion, and miles away from achieving societal equity for queer and trans people. So was born the Reclaim Pride Coalition.

Southern Fried Queer Pride logo

Taylor Alxndr, Executive Director, Southern Fried Queer Pride

  • About: Southern Fried Queer Pride (SFQP) was born out of a lack of space for Black and brown queer folks to build community, a lack of queer art, and in opposition of the established narrative of Southern queers. The South is home to the country’s largest population of LGBTQIQAP2+ individuals, yet we’re confined to a narrative of stigma, statistics, and struggle. SFQP fights that notion, and is aiding in uplifting a honest narrative of resilience, rich history, and vibrance.
