Portsmouth NH Pride 2022 (NH)

Info

Portsmouth Pride takes place on Saturday the 25th June 2022.

“The past few years have been tough on LGBTQ+ kids – not only because of the isolation of the pandemic, but also the profoundly hateful message coming from the Republican majority in the State Legislature," Hirschkop said in a prepared statement. "HB 1431, a bill which would force school guidance counsellors and teachers to out children to their parents, would only further increase the numbers of LGBTQ+ kids who experience depression, anxiety, and yes, suicidality. It was narrowly defeated this year, but you can bet we’ll see this again. ... Now is the time to be an ally and show your full-throated support for LGBTQ+ folks, people identifying as women, and people of colour as rights and protections continue to be stripped away. Join us on June 25 to show your pride.”

From 7 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, June 25, there will be a free Youth After-Party at First United Methodist Church. There'll be dancing, pizza and drag shows.

Simultaneously, there will be a 21-plus After Party at Tour in Portsmouth from 7 to10 p.m. Tickets for this event are $35 in advance, $40 at the door. Hosted by Bianca York, there'll be dancing, speciality cocktails, lawn games, golf and drag artistry. Dress to be seen as a Pride mover and a shaker in the community.
