🏳️🌈 Denver Pride, Global Impact! ✨
What an incredible day! Thank you to our hosts Buddies Denver and everyone who joined the Colorado Pride Alliance pep rally and fundraiser as we send our artists, athletes and fans off to the 2026 València Gay Games! 🇪🇸
A massive thank you to Mayor Mike Johnston for standing with us and highlighting Denver’s place in the world as a safe, deeply welcoming beacon for the LGBTQ+ community.
While we took a proud runner-up for the 2030 Gay Games bid, this is only the beginning. Thank you to every single supporter!
Denver’s future is bright—not just as a powerhouse contender for future global events, but as a permanent home for everyone seeking to live as their happiest, most authentic selves.
Next stop: València! Let’s go! 🏔️✈️🇪🇸
