Comprehensive Directory of LGBTQ+ Service Providers for Pride Month
I've created this resource to help you connect with a diverse array of professionals offering services specifically for Pride Month celebrations. Whether you're looking for speakers, performers, educators, or any other service, you'll find many talented individuals and organizations ready to help make your event memorable and impactful.
My mission is to support the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month, the busiest and most vibrant time of the year for us as queer folks offering services. This directory will be updated regularly throughout Pride Month, so be sure to check back for new additions.
If you offer services and would like to be listed, please fill out my Google form. Your contribution helps us build a robust network of resources that benefit the entire community.
