  1. Bristol (UK) Pride Week Sat 6 – 13 July | Pride Day: Sat 13 :) (see pridebristol dot co dot uk for events and info

  2. Boston Pride was last week. I ran into Liz (I think) and vomited awkward onto her. I had never seen another straddler in the wild. I panicked.

  3. I know Dublin Pride is the last week of June, with the parade on the 29th. I’m not a Dubliner though, just studying/interning abroad here this summer, so I’m a stranger to Dublin Pride ways. If anyone has more info, or info about AS Dublin meet-ups for pride, I’d love to know!

    • I’ll be marching with the LGBT teachers group but it’d be cool to meet some Straddlers too!

      • I’d love a Meet-up. Do you know an Straddlers offline? Maybe one could get organized and added to this list, set up a FB page or something? Like I said, I’m brand new to the city and not here in Dublin for long, but I’d love to meet up!

  4. You guys, I have landed myself in Boise, ID and it turns out that their pride is on Saturday! I don’t want to be the only person there . . . :/

    Because people only show up to pride if it’s advertised on Autostraddle, right?

  5. Does anyone know if there is a local AS group in Minneapolis? Or if there isn’t, anyone interested in forming one? Not sure if there are rules around that at all. I know some organizations are picky (for good reason) about putting their name on something if they don’t know all the happenings in the group. I’m just curious and wanting to meet some kick-ass straddlers. :)

    • You can make one! The local FB groups are independent of the pride celebrations themselves. They’re just full of ‘straddlers who may/may not be going.

        • You should make one! And then you should email the link to me at chelsey [at] autostraddle [dot] com so I can put it in the post! The more straddler city groups there are on the facebook increase everyones happiness and availability to connect! <3

  6. Sigh. We don’t have pride until September. Which I guess is good, without the college students in town it would probably end up just being in my rainbow tie and five people standing around bored and awkward. But I do get jealous of all the awesome stuff everyone else keeps posting pictures of all month.

    • Yeah, my town has Pride in April for the same reason. And where I’m moving has Pride in September. At this rate I will never have a Pride in actual Pride month. lol.

  7. Hello, I am writing you to communicate the Pride that will be organized in Milan (Italy) this June. I also have an image but I don t know where to send it. Anyway these are the details:

    EUROPE’S LARGEST PRIDE CELEBRATION!! &&/%·/&$·&$&$·&

    Yeah, I’m so excited.

  9. Mark your calendars for next year because Salt Lake City has theirs the first weekend in June http://utahpridefestival.org/. Moab, UT is having their 3rd Pride festival Sept 27-28th. Moab is an awesome place for the outdoor adventurer. More info at moabpride.org

  10. Pride in my hometown is this Friday and I can’t wait! Because it’s a small town we get a decently known pop singer and a few local DJs but the party starts in the afternoon and lasts for like, 6 hours. There are also silly games like throwing handbags or running in heels. It’s great fun, there’s lots of people, lgbt, straight, kids and grandmas, and everybody is in a great mood. It’s truly a celebration and I really enjoy it, it’s a positive day.

  11. So are there any plans for an autostraddle meet up at Portland Pride? I haven’t decided yet if I’m going or not

  12. anybody going to c’bus or cinci? i’ll be at both. next friday night at wall street, yo.

  13. The Santa Barbara Pacific Pride Festival is Saturday July 13 for all of you peeps near the Santa Barbara/Central CA coast area!
