This year is no different-Atlanta Pride is once again seeking to amplify the messages of our city’s LGBTQIA+ community, making history by going virtual. Though it’s taken new forms over the years, Pride’s mission has remained the same: to advance unity and visibility amongst Atlanta’s LGBTQIA+ community. Party on Pride.įor half a century, Atlanta Pride has provided a platform from which the city’s LGBTQIA+ citizens can voice their opinions and celebrate their community. While we can’t be together this year, Atlanta History Center looks forward to celebrating with our community at 10 th and Peachtree next October. To learn more about our ATL’s risk-taking change makers and historic moments beyond the Pride Parade, we encourage you to explore the Atlanta Lesbian and Gay History Thing collection, the Georgia LGBTQ Archives Project, the Touching Up Our Roots oral history project, and other resources listed below this article. While this article provides an overview of more than half a century of activism in our city, it is by no means exhaustive. By visiting any in-person Pride event, you are acknowledging that you are, on behalf of yourself or any invitees, voluntarily assuming all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 or any other disease.Our city’s LGBTQIA+ history is nuanced and vast-and too complex to be contained in a single story. By visiting any in-person Pride event, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19. Senior citizens and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. NOTICE: According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. Masks will be made available at the events and are highly encouraged.įor remaining questions please contact We encourage everyone to sign up for CA Notify as an added layer of protection for themselves and the community to receive alerts when you have been in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19. Please understand that populations that may not currently be eligible for vaccination, or maybe immunocompromised, and whose vaccine protection may be incomplete are at increased risk of contracting COVID-19 when attending large crowded events. The State of California strongly recommends that you be fully vaccinated, obtain a negative COVID-19 test prior to attending events, and wear a face covering.
We will continue to work with local, state, and federal public health officials to adjust our policies and procedures to be in alignment with the ever-changing best practices that prioritize public health and safety. As we work to bring folks together again for Pride in 2022, we will also be providing live streaming options for many of our events. San Diego Pride is excited to provide a variety of engagement options as we invite participants to celebrate Pride season in ways that feel comfortable, healthy, and safe.
