Pride 2010

Albuquerque Pride has become New Mexico’s largest and most attended lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender event held every year in June. This is more than a one-day event; it is a week of Pride for our diverse community. Take a look at what we have in store for you this year!

Even though Pride may look like just a fun party, it has an important purpose in the community. As we grow, the rest of the city of Albuquerque and the state of New Mexico realize the incredible diversity and strength of our GLBTQ community. Just your presence makes a difference. Every year, we hear about someone who never knew there was such a community out there. Or people meet and start new relationships. Or politicans realize they need to listen to our voices when we speak. Even if its just for the fun of it, come out, come out, come out and show us who you are by attending Albuquerque Pride.
