Hi!
Pride month is winding down but June will go out with a fabulous bang next weekend as Minneapolis will have their annual Pride celebration!
There are a LOT of events next week leading up to the weekend Pride festival and parade. The festival is a two day party and once again the MN T-Girls will have a booth/tent/thing and we would love to chat with anyone that comes by.
We will be in the green area, booth 221:
The group will be there both days, chatting about our little organization and giving out little trans pride buttons and stickers. I will only be there on Saturday, so if you want to avoid me, Sunday is your best bet, lol.
I love Pride, and I think it’s important that the group is there. I feel we represent a niche but needed aspect of support. On a less fun note, it is expensive to have a booth/tent/thing. Twin Cities Pride is a wonderful organization and they do a fantastic job running such an enormous and inclusive event. However, it is expensive to have a booth at Pride. Expenses related to the event are paid for by me and with generous help from the other members. This year the costs associated with the booth, such as insurance, postcards, decorations, and giveaways, exceeded $700. It may not seem like a lot, but it adds up. If you would like to help offset this and would like to donate for some last minute booth decorations or giveaways, I would be extremely appreciative. My Cash App is $HannahMcKnight100
Going to Pride is… an amazing feeling. To be immersed with countless people who love and support you, even though they don’t know you or quite understand the complexity and simplicity of gender identity, is comforting and affirming. It’s the opposite feeling of going to a crowded mall and wondering what the other shoppers may think of you. At Pride, there’s nothing but love (except for the nutjob across the street handing out poorly Xeroxed pamphlets telling anyone who will listen that God hates us).
Keep your fingers crossed for beautiful weather and see you next weekend!
Love, Hannah

So excited to go to Pride this year and look forward to seeing you and the other girls at Pride! I don’t do cash app, but will definitely contribute how I can when I get there.
Love,
