For graduate students at Emerson, there is no shortage of Pride events around the city of Boston. Emerson has long held a spot in the<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.princetonreview.com\/college-rankings?rankings=lgbtq-friendly\"><strong>Princeton Review\u2019s list of Top 10 Most LGBTQ+ Friendly Colleges<\/strong><\/a>, making it a welcoming place for students of all identities and expressions. Boston, as the capital of the first state to recognize gay marriage and the home to several bustling LGBTQ+ neighborhoods, has a strong history of LGBTQ+ struggle and celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first Boston Pride March was held on June 26, 1971. This was two years after Black and Brown trans women fought for their rights during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/history\/article\/stonewall-uprising-ignited-modern-lgbtq-rights-movement\"><strong>Stonewall Riots<\/strong><\/a>. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetboston.com\/things-to-do\/sightseeing-and-tours\/walking-tours\/boston-equality-trail\/#:~:text=The%20first%20official%20Gay%20Pride,coming%20out%20and%20gay%20spirituality.\"><strong>political event first and foremost<\/strong><\/a>, this inaugural Pride included stops at the Boston Police Headquarters and the State House. Here marchers presented a series of demands to establish permanent rights for LGBTQ+ people. Since then, Pride has been a fixture in the city, with a wide range of events to serve the diverse LGBTQ+ community. However you celebrate Pride, there\u2019s a place for you \u2013 here are some of our favorites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attend an Emerson Pride Event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout June, Emerson provides its students and alumni with several opportunities to celebrate Pride with their fellow Emersonians. Events have included in-person meetups at both the Boston and LA campuses, film screenings, and virtual panels. We&#8217;ve also had presentations about different aspects of queerness. Of course, we can&#8217;t forget to mention the drag bingo event hosted by Emerson alum and drag queen Patty Bourr\u00e9e! Plus, every June, the College opens donations to<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/support-emerson\/giving-priorities\/impact-funds\/pride-fund\"><strong>the Emerson Pride Fund<\/strong><\/a>. This fund \u201caids the people, programs, and organizations that support Emerson\u2019s LGBTQIA+ community.\u201d To learn more about Pride at Emerson, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/guides.library.emerson.edu\/PRIDE\"><strong>Iwasaki Library\u2019s Pride page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"908\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/06\/282048414_5122159537874498_6480023958404359840_n-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Drag queens perform at Carrie Nation's Sunday &quot;Drag Me to Brunch&quot; event during Boston Pride\" class=\"wp-image-2435\" style=\"width:225px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/06\/282048414_5122159537874498_6480023958404359840_n-edited.jpg 682w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/06\/282048414_5122159537874498_6480023958404359840_n-edited-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Drag queens perform at Carrie Nation&#8217;s Sunday Drag Brunch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grab a Drag Brunch at the Carrie Nation Cocktail Club<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The downtown restaurant and bar Carrie Nation Cocktail Club holds its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carrienationcocktailclub.com\/dragbrunch\"><strong>Sunday \u201cDrag Me to Brunch\u201d event<\/strong><\/a> year-round.

The march focuses on the experiences of LGBTQ+ women and gender expansive folks. The organization is rooted in anti-capitalist, intersectional gender liberation and prioritizes accessibility in its events. Along with a march around the Boston Common, the program includes performances and speeches by local bands, poets, and activists.

In response, many LGBTQ+ activists have called on Pride to return to its political roots. Founded in June 2020 by Athena Vaughn, Chastity Bowick, and others, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transresistancema.com\/\"><strong>Trans Resistance March<\/strong><\/a> set out to achieve exactly that. Their work builds on a long history of activism by Black and Brown trans people in Boston, including the Transgender Day of Remembrance, a now-global commemoration. The Transgender Day of Remembrance happens every November and is inspired by protests by the Boston LGBTQ+ community in 1998 after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/feature\/nbc-out\/her-death-sparked-transgender-day-remembrance-22-years-later-still-n1233809\"><strong>murder of Black trans woman Rita Hester<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trans Resistance March holds its yearly Pride event in June. After a chant-filled march through the diverse Boston neighborhoods of Roxbury and Dorchester, attendees end up in Franklin Park for a festival featuring speakers, performances, and booths by local non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attend a Boston Public Library Event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boston Public Library hosts community events year-round. During June, they are offering several<a href=\"https:\/\/bpl.bibliocommons.com\/v2\/events?q=pride\"> <strong>events centering around LGBTQ+ folks<\/strong><\/a><strong>.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of documentaries, the Mattapan branch is holding a<a href=\"https:\/\/bpl.bibliocommons.com\/events\/65eb6081e3e1ee3000341f17\"> <strong>showing of Little Richard: I am Everything<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>on June 4. The documentary explores the Black and queer roots of rock and roll, focusing on icon Richard Penniman. If you\u2019re looking for ways to get creative this Pride month, you might be interested in the library\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/bpl.bibliocommons.com\/events\/65fdd7f38b48e73a00d4aefc\"><strong>Queer Zine Making Workshop<\/strong><\/a> on Thursday, June 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless which events strike your fancy, the Pride month events at the Boston Public Library are a great way to celebrate and make new friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Some New Friends at a Block Party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been trying to build a community of queer friends in Boston, Pride month is a great time to meet people. Boston neighborhoods often have block parties to build community in the area, and June is no exception. In Jamaica Plain, LesbianNightLife is hosting a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/jp-block-party-pride-in-boston-tickets-860064936377\"> <strong>block party for pride on Sunday June 9<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>this year. If you live closer to downtown, there will also be a <a href=\"https:\/\/allevents.in\/boston\/back-bay-block-party-boston-pride\/200026519829747\"><strong>block party in Back Bay<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong>also on June 9. While these two events are ticketed, you can always keep an eye out for free community block parties in your neighborhood this Pride month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a graduate student at Emerson, there are many ways to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride at the College and in the vibrant city of Boston. Whether you want to march, dance, or enjoy a drag performance, you\u2019re sure to find the perfect event for you.
