Vanessa Edwards Foster didn’t want to become an activist, but when someone had to fight for transgender rights, she stepped up. From 1997 through 2009, she lobbied in Washington DC and Austin, co-founded the National Transgender Advocacy Coalition in 1999, and fought to include transgender people in the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Her story reminds us that our votes protect the rights activists like Vanessa fought so hard to secure.

Happy LGBTQ Center Awareness Day. 🏳️‍🌈

Every October 19, we celebrate the centers that give LGBTQ+ people a place to be seen, supported, and safe. This year, we’re building ours.

The Mosaic Center isn’t open yet. But here’s what we’ve learned while building it: a center isn’t the building. It’s the people who make the space, and the work that happens inside it. Since we announced it at Pride on October 10, that work has looked like rewiring the electrical, clearing the grounds, hanging the first signs at the front desk, and planning how the space will host community markets and events. It also looks like radio: the FCC has cleared our modification, so Unity 89.1 FM will broadcast from the Mosaic Center. The studio is being assembled now, along with the transmitter and emergency alert system. And yesterday it looked like sitting down with Vanessa Edwards Foster to record the first interview inside its walls for Our Community Lives, our LGBTQIA+ history archive. Her story drops later today.

The center is already happening. Thank you to everyone painting, hauling, wiring, planning and sharing their stories alongside us. If you want to be part of it, we’d love your hands, your ideas, or your support.

The party didn’t stop at the Block Party. 🪩✨

After the parade and the main stage, Corpus Christi kept celebrating into the night.

“Pride Afters” are more than an encore. For generations, LGBTQ+ people built community after dark, in bars and clubs that were often the only places we could gather, dance and be ourselves without fear. The Stonewall Inn, where the modern Pride movement began, was one of those places.

Here at home, that tradition lives on at the Hidden Door, which has been part of our community’s nightlife for 46 years, and where friends gathered to celebrate Pride on Saturday night too. 🏳️‍🌈

And this year, Retro opened its doors wide for the Pride After Party. Inclusive spaces don’t happen by accident. They happen when someone chooses to make room, sets the tone, and makes sure every person who walks in feels like they belong. Huge thank you to Marcus Lozano for organizing the Retro After Party and for sponsoring Pride Corpus Christi. Every new space that says “you’re welcome here” makes our whole community stronger. 💜

Community isn’t a word. It’s a practice. 🏳️‍🌈

Somewhere along the way, some people forget what it actually means to be part of a community. It isn’t only showing up when it’s comfortable, or when it’s popular, or when the cameras are on. It’s standing next to each other when it’s hard. It’s making room for the people who are still finding their voice. It’s remembering that none of us got here alone.

On Saturday, thousands of footsteps down Shoreline said it better than any of us could: we are still here, and we are still each other’s.
Pride was never just a party. It was born from the fight for our most basic rights: to express who we are without fear, and to pursue our own happiness, out loud and on our own terms. Those aren’t special privileges. They’re promises that belong to every single one of us, and Pride is how we keep them.

To everyone who marched, cheered, carried a flag, or simply showed up as yourself: thank you for standing together in community. 💜
