Last weekend was Twin Cities Pride here in Minneapolis. If I’m in town, I always try to make a point to go to Pride for a portion of the festivities. As a cis, white woman, I attend to show my support and stand in solidarity with others. This year, I helped staff the Geek Partnership Society booth which meant talking to various people about Twin Cities Geek, conventions, and other nerd-related topics. A running quote that we would say is “This is the nerd side of Pride”.

I didn’t end up taking that many photos of Pride since I was talking to people who came to visit our booth. It was nice seeing people being able to exist as themselves.

As a final note, I wanted to share some of my favorite non-profits & charities that help support LGBTQIA+ people. The first non-profit that I give to the most is The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is focused on younger LGBTQIA+ lives and providing them resources if need be. The second non-profit is the ACLU. The ACLU is focused on all human rights and a lot of that fight is for LGBTQIA+ rights. These are the two non-profits I will continuously donate to as I support their cause.
