Celebrating LGBTQ+
people in Fargo-Moorhead
and beyond.

“When most people think of Fargo, North Dakota, they probably don’t think of a town bursting at the seams with queer joy, love, and community. Thanks to Fargo-Moorhead Pride, we get the space to be just that!”

“To me, FM Pride is a safe space for us in the LGBTQ+ community to come together and celebrate our differences. It’s a place for us to feel free and comfortable to be ourselves.”

“After coming out, there were many moments of insecurity. FM Pride gave me a weekend where I felt seen, loved, and supported in all the best ways. Not only that, but it was the first time I saw my parents take an active role in attending Pride events, and that meant more to me than I ever could have imagined.”

“I brought my mother to the drag show that FM Pride hosted with Plains Art Museum earlier this month. She has early onset dementia, and socializing is hard for her as she cannot follow conversation as easily as she used to. But we know socializing is still one of the best things for her. The drag show was perfect-- she loved the music, the energy, and the creative outfits. Surprisingly, SHE started a conversation with multiple people about their creative attire! This is a big deal for her because she's self-conscious about people judging her in conversation. We couldn't have asked for a more kind, accepting place. People with dementia often get left out and socially ostracized-- people don't know what to do with the diagnosis. The queer community doesn't ostracize her, and I am so grateful that we have FM Pride, where I know she will continue to be accepted for who she is. THANK YOU for being here.”
