WHAT DOES PRIDE MEAN TO YOU
Some people walk the parade down Main. Some watch from the curb. Some stay home this year, and that's a whole answer too. Any choice you make for you is the right one. Pride is more than a single event. Sometimes its the parade, the parties, the festival, or sometimes its in us, no matter where we are.
Tell us yours.
MISSION
Colorado West Pride puts on Pride for the Western Slope, a celebration rooted in the Grand Valley where 2S2SLGBTQIA+ people can gather openly in the places they already live.
We do this because queer life here has too often had to stay quiet, and a community needs (deserves) somewhere to be seen and counted.
VISION
A Western Slope where every 2SLGBTQIA+ person can live openly and safely in the valley they call home, no matter how they got here.
We're building toward a valley that holds its queer neighbors with celebration and acceptance instead of fear, and an organization steady enough to be here for every generation that comes.
RUN BY NEIGHBORS
The board is a group of people who live and work in the Grand Valley. Nobody here is paid, and nobody outside the valley tells us what to do.
We've been at this since 2012, weathered some real hostility, and rebuilt the organization from the ground up rather than fold. Same family values, new engine.
