Today, as Seattle raises the Pride flag, we honor the generations of LGBTQIA+ people whose courage, organizing, and advocacy made this moment possible.
Pride is more than a celebration. It is a reminder that the rights, visibility, and community we have today were built by trailblazers who refused to be silent and who fought for a more just future.

At Q***r Power Alliance, we are especially grateful for leaders like Lois Thetford, whose commitment to justice, community, and collective power helped shape the path forward for so many LGBTQIA+ people across Washington. Her legacy lives on in our work and reminds us that progress is created by people who choose to show up, organize, and build power together.

To every person who finds belonging because others dared to imagine a better world, we see you. We celebrate how far we've come, honor those who paved the way, and recommit ourselves to the work that remains.

Building Collective Power for LGBTQIA+ Liberation.
