'Pride is not just a celebration, it's a powerful reminder that our strength lies in unity, and Boston will always be a place where everyone belongs,' the organization said in a statement.
Boston Pride also features an annual theme that is chosen by members of the community. The 2024 Boston Pride theme was 'Still Here: In Living Color.' The theme aimed to celebrate and recognize the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and its history of fighting back against discrimination.
Boston Pride For The People is accepting submissions for Boston Pride 2025 theme ideas. The website states that this year, the organization is seeking a theme that 'embodies the bold spirit of the Stonewall Riots—capturing resilience, defiance, and collective strength in the fight for equality and justice.'
Theme ideas can be submitted on until February 28 at 5:00 p.m.
Boston Pride For The People is a volunteer-led organization that plans activities throughout the year to celebrate the diversity, culture, and history of the LGBTQ+ community.
