Being an uncle is more than a title—it’s about being a source of strength, creating memories, and reminding the next generation that love is love, family is family, and everyone deserves to be themselves.

To all the incredible gay uncles: Today we celebrate YOU! 🌈💜

A Fourth of July Message from the President of Orgullo Laredo

Happy Independence Day!

Today, as we celebrate the birth of our nation, we also reflect on the values that unite us: freedom, equality, dignity, and hope. The Fourth of July is a reminder that the promise of liberty belongs to everyone, regardless of who they are, who they love, or how they identify.

At Orgullo Laredo, we remain committed to building a community where every LGBTQ+ person feels seen, respected, safe, and empowered. Our work is rooted in the belief that true freedom means everyone has the opportunity to live authentically without fear or discrimination.

As we gather with family, friends, and neighbors, let us celebrate not only our nation’s independence but also the strength that comes from embracing diversity, standing together, and supporting one another.

On behalf of everyone at Orgullo Laredo, I wish you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Fourth of July. May we continue working together toward a future where freedom, love, and equality are realities for all.

With gratitude,

Earl Medina
President & Founder
Orgullo Laredo

Today, we honor the resilience, strength, and enduring contributions of the Black community while recognizing the significance of June 19, 1865—the day freedom was finally announced to the last enslaved African Americans in Texas. Juneteenth is a celebration of liberation, hope, and the ongoing pursuit of equality and justice.

As an organization committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces for all, we stand in solidarity with our Black LGBTQ+ community members, allies, and all those who continue working toward a future where every person is treated with dignity, respect, and equal opportunity.

Together, we celebrate freedom, embrace diversity, and reaffirm our commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive community.

Happy Juneteenth! ❤️🖤💚
Freedom. Equality. Unity.
