Free Andry Live Show & Fundraiser
We're joining forces with Crooked Media's Jon Lovett on June 6 for a live show in D.C. to raise funds for Andry Hernandez Romero. We'll be joined on stage by special guests to celebrate Pride, vent, pre-game, commiserate, laugh, vent some more, and raise money for the , which represents Andry and others being held in El Salvador without so much as a hearing. Because if this administration can kidnap Andry and ship him off to a foreign gulag—if they get away with that and the media just moves on—they can do it to anyone.

Locals paint rainbow fence at German Village bar that had Pride flags stolen
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — It's the start of Pride month, which means there will be many events all over central Ohio celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. Many businesses and homes will start hanging up their rainbow decorations, but for the past two years, a local bar said its decorations have been stolen. Columbus music festival raises noise concerns The owner of Rumours, Jackie Sansavera, said instead of responding with frustration, they're coming back with even more color. 'We were able to come up with something really great for the community to see as they drive by and something that can't be taken away,' Sansavera said. Last year, NBC4 reported on the theft of Pride decorations throughout Merion Village and German Village, including at Rumours. Residents came together this year to help paint a rainbow mural on the fence at the bar to begin Pride month. 'We will never consider not having pride decorations,' Sansavera said. 'That's what we are. It's what we do. It's who we are. I think the whole point of people trying to steal that from you is so that you don't put it up, and we'll just make it louder and brighter and prettier and a little bit more fun every time.' Ohio residents are among America's biggest gamblers, according to recent study The idea to paint the fence was born after employees at Condado Tacos found out about the theft. They said it was the perfect way to put leftover paint to use. 'We wanted something that was going to be bright and bold and representative of the welcoming friendliness that Rumours provides to the area,' Condado Tacos Art Director Alyssa Martin said. The fence is now a permanent and even brighter version of last year's. 'Pride is such an ongoing and ever-growing movement and we just want to be able to participate in whatever way we can and support in whatever way we can,' Condado Tacos Project Manager for Loca Restaurant Marketing and Art Olivia Dempsey said.

Local support shines through at Clark County Pride festival
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — In a time when LGBTQ+ individuals feel they have become targets by the Trump administration, small town events garnering support from the local community are paramount. That's the belief of Clark County Pride, the organization behind the 5th Annual Rainbow Walk and Festival, which took place in La Center, Wash. on Sunday. Starlight Parade fills streets in downtown Portland Geared towards the celebration of queer identities, the event kicked off Pride Month, attracting around 200 people of all ages and beginning with a short parade on the La Center Bridge. During the parade, attendees told KOIN 6 News that the community response was 'so full of joy.' 'We're getting so many waves and thumbs-ups and honks,' said community member Lacey Meehan. Although five counter-protesters made an appearance, holding up signs on the opposite side of the street, paradegoers drowned them out with even more honks and cheers. 'Let's make some noise!' the parade's leader shouted. 'Let's show these bigots what pride looks like!' Map shows who in the PNW, rest of US might see the Northern Lights All of this culminated at a festival in Holley Park, with DJs, live music, food, a resource fair, as well as arts and crafts. Kaycee Weaver, Clark County Pride's event coordinator, told KOIN 6 News that ultimately the goal of this was to bring awareness in a place that doesn't have as many resources or support for those identifying as LGBTQ+. 'There's just not a lot of representation out here,' Weaver said. 'We face a lot of difficulties finding support and resources for our area and we just want to be sure that we're out here supporting people, letting them know that we're here and we have a network.' Community member Emily Lake echoed this, stressing how significant it is for people to show up for the queer community in a small town. 'Small town events are huge,' she said. 'Everybody loves a pride parade, but showing up for your local community – especially with school districts and everything – it's so important that you show up for the people closest to you.' Lake also noted how the festival has evolved since its inaugural event in 2021. 'It's way nicer this year than it's been,' she said. 'I've come to this event for three years now and just seeing it grow and community grow, that's what pride is. Not about itself, not an individual, but all of us together.' This parade and festival marked the first of more Pride events to come in the Clark County metro area this year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
