Pride Frisco is a non-profit organization that aims to create a safe and empowering safe for the city's LGBTQIA+ community and their allies. They also connect people to supportive and affirming resources, education, and support.
After seeing Dallas celebrate Pride for the last 50 years, Frisco residents decided it's time for their city to have an event of their own.
“It is imperative that all members of our community have essential resources, information, support, and love, regardless of where they live. Pride celebrations have been held in Dallas since 1972 but never in Frisco. This year, we’re changing that," board member John Culpepper said.
