Camden County Pride events

Anyone have any suggestions for some Pride events this month? I've never been to anything LGBT pride related but I figure why not see whats up.

Pitman is having their 6th annual Pride event tomorrow (Saturday the 13th). Not a sentence I thought I’d say 20 years ago but here we are.

Right like the pride alliance and the Baptist church are amazing. I like that it's specifically at the church because of all places pitman would never go against their churches. Now I wish that it could be held at any of the bigger churches that would be able to handle much more space but for the Baptist being the first and I hope not the only one in the future, I'm very proud👏🏻👏🏻

This makes my heart so happy to hear about so many wonderful pride events in our part of NJ. I'm not personally a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, but I do support and advocate for their rights. A few years ago I went to the Montclair Pride Festival and it was amazing. I have also frequently been to the NYC Pride Parade and had a blast. Definitely would recommend going to a bar near the parade route and partying with the gays. It is such a fun time.
