At Uniting Pride, we know that for too many LGBTQ+ couples and families, Valentine’s Day spaces just don’t feel… right. Whether it’s the lack of representation or the uncomfortable vibes, we’re not here for it. That’s why we decided to take matters into our own hands and create an event where EVERYONE—no matter who you are or who you love—feels celebrated, affirmed, and absolutely fabulous!
Love is love, and it deserves to be celebrated OUT LOUD and PROUD. Join us as we create a space that’s as vibrant, diverse, and joyful as the LGBTQ+ community itself. This Valentine’s Day, let’s make sure that everyone has a place to shine.
