Pride Northwest’s work is to support our community in existing and thriving as our best selves. Drag has always been an incredible way for people to get outside of themselves, to create and express confident versions of themselves and/or to discover the person they have always been. Pride Northwest is both proud and honored to take our relationship with the Portland Gay Prides and Pageant to the next level. The longstanding reputation that the pageant has for fairness and inclusion aligns well with Pride Northwest’s
own values and is something we will continue to center and prioritize in management of the pageant. We also look forward to this expanded opportunity to continue celebrating and nurturing the amazing talent of Portland’s LGBTQIA2S+ community, ensuring that our peoples’ contributions to Portland’s vibrant arts and entertainment scene are both supported and acknowledged. Pride Northwest is PROUD to continue on the legacy of The Gay Prides of Portland and is excited for this new journey.
