Mid-South Pride
Driven by Community | Powered by Pride
Our Story
Mid-South Pride produces several events throughout the year and coordinates official Pride-related events in order to inspire, educate, commemorate and unify the diverse communities that make up the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
Mission & Vision
We are inspired by those who led before us, and motivated by our vision of a future where all LGBTQ+ citizens can proudly express who they are without fear of discrimination, and where social, cultural, and legal equality is guaranteed to all humankind.
Associations
Funding
We are a non-profit organization. Any surplus funds we raise are used to support the LGBTQ community and produce future events.
We are 100% self-sufficient and do not rely on public funding. Our operations and events are made possible by the support of individuals, businesses, and socially responsible organizations.
Our History
The success and freedoms we enjoy today were made possible by a series of hard-won battles fought by resourceful community members, many of whom aren't even here to enjoy it with us. We consider it a privilege to walk in their footsteps, and we hope that the work we do today will honor their legacy and inspire others to serve with passion.
Leadership
The achievements of Mid-South Pride would not be possible without the support of our community and the commitment of an all-volunteer board of directors. We are dedicated to creating spaces for people of all walks of life and all identities to participate. I you are interested in becoming a member of our board or one of our sub-committees, please contact us or attend one of our open meetings and introduce yourself!
