For many LGBTQ+ people, showing up as ourselves is an act of courage.

As attacks on queer and trans communities continue across the country, our visibility, our joy, and our refusal to disappear remain powerful forms of resistance.

We asked members of the Pittsburgh community what “existence is resistance” means to them. Their answers remind us that Pride has always been about more than celebration; it’s about survival, solidarity, and the freedom to live authentically. #pittsburghpride
Every queer story is part of Pittsburgh's history.

Join QBurgh and @carnegielibrary for Share Your Stories: LGBTQIA+ Pride, a community gathering where we'll explore local LGBTQIA+ history through photographs, memorabilia, personal stories, and conversation.

This month's theme celebrates Pride and the generations of LGBTQIA+ people who built community, created culture, and shaped life in Pittsburgh. Bring your memories, photos, keepsakes, or simply your curiosity as we connect with neighbors and help preserve our collective history.

June 20
1:00–3:00 PM
