About Us

Welcome to Pride Houston, the heart of our vibrant and diverse LGBTQ+ community in the city. We stand as a beacon of hope, resilience, and celebration, committed to our mission and dedicated to addressing challenges with strength, grace, and unwavering leadership.
Pride Houston Is Here to Stay – 365 Days a Year

Our Mission Is to Promote Equality​

Historically, Pride Houston is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) non-profit that has organized the official Houston LGBT Pride Celebration® which includes the Houston Pride Festival® and Houston Pride Parade® every year in Montrose or downtown Houston promoting public awareness of the need for diversity and equal rights in our community as well as to commemorate and celebrate the history of the gay, lesbian, trans and queer community.  We aim to celebrate this cause not only in June but all year round.

We will continue to strive to promote equality and inclusion through celebration and plan for numerous LGBTQIA+ events all year long to support our community.

Full transparency coupled with a goal of celebrating Houston’s LGBTQIA+ community year-round, raising critical funds for youth scholarships, and offering ongoing health and wellness education takes time. 

And it equals a 365 days-a-year commitment.
