Note: Traveling as an LGBTQ+ person always carries a certain degree of risk.

Since Atlanta’s first Pride Procession in on the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, Atlanta’s Parade—and subsequently, its Festival—has galvanized the LGBTQIA+ community in Georgia and across the South to show up for each other and to illustrate out with acts of protest, activism, education, and celebration.
