Chicago: Free to Be Proud 🏳️‍🌈

The Progress Pride Flag was raised over Downtown Chicago on Monday as city and county officials kicked off Pride Month.

“By raising the flags together today, downtown and at the very heart of our city, we are reaffirming this as a palace where all people are free to live how they wish, to love who they want and to be themselves in the most authentic voice,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said.

Free to Be Seen! 🌈✨

“Chicago Pride and the Chicago Pride Parade is so incredibly important because it’s a time we can gather together as community, and Chicago does community in such a beautiful way. We see each other, we want to support each other, we want to show up for each other.”

Welcome to Pride Month! 🌈✨

Today marks the first day of Pride Month, and we want to welcome you all to a month of reflection, joy, and action.

As an all-volunteer organization, our commitment doesn’t start or stop in June—we are on the ground 365 days a year. But on June 28, we get to come together to loudly celebrate how far we’ve come.

This year, our theme is Free to Be Free.

Pride has never been just about celebration—it is about visibility, dignity, resilience, and the right to exist safely and authentically. It is a powerful reminder that no one is truly free until everyone is free to be. ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿

Let’s celebrate, let’s honor our history, and let’s keep pushing forward together. Happy Pride!
