Pride

Tarrant’s largest Pride event, which was canceled this year when city council removed some local protections, is back on at Levitt Pavilion.

Tarrant County’s largest Pride celebration was canceled last year in response to Arlington’s suspension of its antidiscrimination ordinance.

Dallas Pride's Sunset Parade will return this weekend to its historic roots on Main Street for the first time since 1972.

Anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation and policy changes have left queer and transgender Texans to navigate a changing political and social landscape.

Dallas will remove 30 decorative crosswalks, including LGBTQ+ and Black Lives Matter designs, within 90 days after months of appealing a executive order by Gov. Greg Abbott.

Those were words that members of Pridenton, a local LGBTQ+ advocacy group, were hoping to hear from Hudspeth again Tuesday night to kick off Pride Month. Hudspeth gave the proclamation for his first June as mayor in 2021, then gave a similar one in June 2022.

From parades and block parties to exhibits and festivals, here’s a list of all of the ways you can celebrate the LGBTQ+ community in North Texas.

Parade, music, parties and more coming to North Texas in June.

A festival organizer says the event is an act of defiance given recent legislation targeting transgender people and drag performers.

More than 140 anti-LGBTQ bills were introduced by Texas lawmakers this legislative session. That political backdrop has made events like this past weekend's annual Pride picnic in Fort Worth that much more important.
