18 days later and we’re still smiling. 💛

Round two of Block Party photos is here, and this time it’s all about the people who turned Water’s Edge Park into a market: cookies, earrings, jams, pins, flags, and every maker and organization who set up a tent and said hello to thousands of neighbors. A couple of our stage favorites snuck in too.

Thank you to our title sponsor Hicks Family Subaru, and to every vendor, performer, and volunteer who made the day. The full set is on our website (link in bio), and vendors and performers tagged in photos will get theirs by email this week.

Pride on the rooftop. 🚴‍♀️🏳️‍🌈

Saturday morning, five floors above downtown, a whole crowd of bikes spinning, queens performing between the rows, rainbow flags in the wind and the bay behind us. This is what visibility looks like when it moves.

Thank you to @formcyclingstudio for bringing Tour de Downtown Stop 03 to @elevate402rooftop and inviting us to be part of it. Form is getting ready to open its doors in January, and we love that on the road to opening, they chose to ride with Pride. When a new business shows up for our community before its doors even open, it tells everyone: you’re welcome here, from day one.

Inclusive spaces don’t build themselves. They’re built by showing up, out loud and in public, sweating it out together. Healthy bodies, healthy spirits, a healthy community, and nobody riding in the back row alone.

And the queens of Brittany Andrews Entertainment turned every ride into a show, honoring the ones who paved the way:
✨ Brittany Andrews @brittanyramirezandrews
✨ Kitana Sánchez @kitana_sanchez
✨ Zara Doll @zaradolldiva
✨ Honey Andrews @sweethoneyglam

Huge love to DJ Dreamware for keeping the after-party spinning, and to @cafesitobabe for the Pride menu fuel. ☕🌈

Congratulations on the journey so far, Form. We’ll be cheering you on in January. 💜

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. 💜
