Celebrate Seattle Pride Like A Diva in 2023
We started off this year’s Pride at White Center Pride. You can read all about this heart-affirming event that brought the community together. Now buckle up—here’s what you need to know about Seattle Pride 2023!
Back in Our Diva Day of Celebrating Pride
Kim and I have been celebrating Pride in Seattle since the early 1990s. Back in our day (insert boomer voice) there was a Pride Parade on Broadway. After the parade, we all went to Volunteer Park to celebrate together. Some folks would end up at the Tea Dance at the Cuff, or hanging out at Wildrose. The only thing we planned in advance was to bring duct tape to cover our TaTa’s (yes, the SPDs would ticket us if they saw a nipple). And there was a nominal wait to get into any of the bars.
Fast forward thirty years later, and things sure have changed. For one, Pride is now celebrated all month long in various parts of the city. You need tickets well in advance for all of the adventures. And the most important thing is that Seattle has Trans Pride and Indigiqueer (Indigenous and Two Spirit) Pride.
When is Pride in Seattle in 2023?
Good question. As I was putting together my list of must-see and go-to events, it got a little confusing. Basically, Seattle Pride weekend is Friday, June 23, 2023 through Sunday, June 25, 2023. But there are lots of events leading up to the big weekend.
How to Not Be a Dumbass at Pride?
Remember, Pride is for the queers. It is an LGBTQ+ space. Be mindful that you are a guest and you might not be welcomed in all spaces. And for us white cis gays and lesbians, remember to be thoughtful and kind to our Trans and BIPOC community. Unfortunately, we have a history of segregating within our own communities. Be a Diva! Not a dumbass!

Other Pride Events We Are Going To This Summer
Be sure to go and celebrate Pride festivals in smaller towns and cities. For instance, some hateful human has decided to steal all of the Pride flags in Tacoma cause it is to “woke.” Fuck those people. Pride outside of the safer urban areas is the frontline for Equality. We will be doing our part to show up for these amazing events.
