While June is still nationally recognized as LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Portland’s are moving to July 15–16, for 2023. Queer and trans-BIPOC community members have been asking for this change for many years, as the previous dates in June often overlapped with other cultural events, including Juneteenth and the Delta Park Pow Wow.
