Queer Beyond Pride
And there are members of the LGBTQ+ community driving experiences beyond Pride, like Lisa Becklund, a James Beard nominee for Outstanding Chef at FarmBar.
Plus, Tulsa hosts Pride events, so let’s bring you up to date on this year’s plans.
On October 11, Tulsa Pride takes over with a massive parade that extends LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations that begin in most destinations each June. Sponsored by Oklahomans for Equality, the event is more important than ever as the U.S.
rolls back rights for some members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Why the Change?
Surprise. Designed as a space for people to be themselves and have a great time, Tulsa Eagle opened back in 2005. Tulsa will celebrate the strength and resilience of our 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and we cannot wait to see you at the festival and along the parade route.”

June is Pride Month in the country, and Oklahoma is ready to fill the month with events and community events around the state.
Pride Month is observed in June to coincide with the Stonewall riots in 1969 in New York City, which is often regarded as the start of the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world.
Events will be hosted throughout Oklahoma, starting May 30 with Pride on 39th and culminating in Oklahoma City PrideFest on the last weekend of June, featuring performances by rapper Baby Tate and "American Idol" contestant David Archuleta at Scissortail Park.
