Pride Houston has been a long time member of the International Association of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride (InterPride) for over 30 years. InterPride is a not–for-profit organization that provides support to over 200 groups that plan Pride events around the world. Pride Houston shall work to bring lesbians, gay-men, bisexuals and transgendered individuals together to educate the world on issues pertaining to the LGBT community, commemorate our heritage, celebrate our culture and liberate our people.

Houston Pride Week: June 20th – 29th 2014For over 35 years, Pride Houston has worked at the heart of the local LGBT community to educate and celebrate the diversity within our city’s large population. Every year, Pride Houston works hard with national sponsors and local volunteers to organize and produce a series of events that cater to and promote Houston’s ever-growing LGBT community.

For more than 35 years, Pride Houston has been a central part of the local LGBT community in Houston.

It’s core mission is to strengthen equality and increase awareness around issues important to our community such as health, safety and marriage equality. Pride Houston celebrates the individuality and diversity of every person as we all strive for acceptance from parents, friends and society-at-large.

From annual charity events to aiding LGBT-support and -counseling networks, its activities continue to promote social awareness and enrich the diversity that helps the Houston community thrive.

Nearly a decade after the Stonewall Riots in New York, the Gay Rights Movement for equality made its way to Houston. The Celebration is typically held the last Saturday in June to commemorate Stonewall, and the parade, which is held in the evening after sunset. This tradition began in 1997, arranged by then-Houston City Councilmember Annise Parker, where a parade ordinance was revised to allow for the nation’s only nighttime Pride Parade.

Pride Houston is a registered 501(c)3 organization incorporated in the state of Texas, and is 100 percent volunteer-run. Its annual June Celebration takes more than 10,000 volunteer hours to produce, along side its other initiatives, which require more volunteers than ever.
