Pride Month celebrations and art share across Bluesky

cultureJun 11, 20262393,308

Creators, streamers and community groups launched Pride Month art challenges, merch sales and mutual-aid fundraisers, including a 50-plus STL miniature pack drive raising donations for Point of Pride and a Femboy Fight Club fundraiser for the Trevor Project. One organizer posted $5,956 raised toward a $10,000 goal, while SAG-AFTRA promoted a 50 percent off Pride tank flash sale through June 14. Local history and service organizations received spotlighting, from a new historical marker for drag aerialist Barbette in Round Rock, Texas to shout-outs for LYRIC youth services and the Miss Major Alexander L. Lee TGIJP Black Trans Cultural Center Justice Project. The combination of artwork, event listings, media recommendations and direct donation appeals funneled Pride Month activity into tangible support and local visibility for LGBTQ+ people this month.

At a moment when politicians in Washington are targeting trans people, rolling back rights, and trying to divide us, Pride this year is a reminder that we must always stand together and fight for one another. Happy Pride, New York City.

Mayor Mamdani hosts a Pride celebration with the Mayor's Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs.

How about you provide gender affirming care to ALL AGES in your new clinic if you want to defend transgender New Yorkers? Dysphoria occurs at many ages and gender affirming care is suicide prevention.

love what you're saying, please reinforce it with what you're doing. there's a level of trust that's been broken with the trans community and its hard to see this as anything but words.

Love this, would love trans kids not having their healthcare taken away even more!!

Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️‍🌈11

okay but please fix the budget and uphold your promises to fund trans healthcare and the public libraries, so we can actually stand with you on this!

Rose Linden8

Dude, SERIOUSLY... Wow. Step the fuck up and help trans kids!

Ms. Trannÿ of Tÿranny 🏳️‍⚧️7

Including people who say that we can't get trans related care if under 19. As if it were cigarettes.

TheGemGM5

Except for transgender kids, right?

🧡 ORANGE: HEALING 🧡 Sunrise, marmalade, and finally meeting someone who understands you. Maybe it will all be ok 🥹 #ofmd #ofmdart #happypride 🩷♥️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Art of Ed and Stede from our flag means death, dressed in each others clothes and sitting in the crows nest of a ship. There is a tray of breakfast with oranges and marmalade next to the, and the sky behind is bright orange, reflecting into the sea

This is gorgeous, I love it! And also I feel a bit like I'm in an alternate timeline because this is so clearly your work but it's not pink!

Jeez you already get your own lighting

Liz Walsh4

I'm ace, would that be all the discount or none of the discount?

Shufflepants4

To get the double discount, in addition to being gay for women and straight for men, you need to be straight for women and gay for men.

Bi now, pay never

Happy Pride Moth! About time I did one of these paint splatters for my own sona, Aubie. I talk more about the flags I chose and what they mean to me on a free post on that P-site which blows my reach every time I mention it despite there ostensibly not being an algorithm here. 😂 #PrideMonth

My sona, Aubie, a female anthro moth with hybrid feline/caprine features to her face, light grey fur, and purple antennae. She's laying on her back in the middle of a spray of bright paint that replace her wings. Her upper wings form the pink, yellow, and blue colors of the pansexual flag, her left lower wing is the purple, white, grey, and black aegosexual flag, and her right lower wing is the dark purple, light purple, blue, and white colors of the GNC (gender non-conforming) flag.

Remember for Pride Month: - don't talk to cops - trans rights are your rights - be ready to protest - everyone's free or nobody's free - queer spaces must be accessible - ace folks are queer - the apps only care about your money - build community, not capital cleoconnect.ca/resource/you...

Happy Pride! Every day for Pride 2026, I will be highlighting a Black, Brown, or Indigenous queer person, because we're not whitewashing Pride this year. Today is artist @kellylynnedang.bsky.social, who does something unbelievably cool: write shows and musicals.
