It’s time to celebrate the rainbow of beauties of our diverse authentic sexual and sensual selves! The mission of the Center for Sex Positive Culture is to “create spaces to celebrate, develop, and explore sexuality and sensuality among a diverse, supportive community,” and we can’t wait to share our Pride in who we are as individuals and as a community. 

The origins of Pride are political–held in June to commemorate the Stonewall Riots that fought for the human rights of LGBTQ+ folx. Today we have much to celebrate, yet we still have a long way to go to fully protect equal treatment under the law. For more information about the origins of Pride, visit https://www.them.us/story/the-complete-history-of-pride. 

The CSPC believes that authentic sexual identity should never stand in the way of safety, health, and prosperity for all. It’s always Pride at the CSPC!

We are excited to be hosting tables at Seattle Pride events on Capitol Hill on Saturday, June 25, and at the events at Seattle Center on Sunday, June 26. We’re also marching in the Pride Parade near Seattle Center on the morning of Sunday, June 26. We’d love to have you join us! 

We’re looking for 25 CSPC folx who can commit to meeting early Sunday morning with the rest of the CSPC marching contingent on 4th Ave. between Pike St. and S Washington St. for staging before the parade begins, then shaking their groove thing for the crowds for the next few hours as the parade moves through downtown, ending at Seattle Center. 

The parade organizers require that we share a roster of marchers with proof of COVID vaccination, so signing up in advance is essential. Email us at Pride@thecspc.org today to get on the list–dress up in your Pride finest and come toss swag to the crowds with us!

We’re also thrilled to present a special Pride edition of LaQueer: An LBGTQ+ Sex Positive Party on Saturday night, June 25, after the Pride events at Capitol Hill that day! Buy your tickets early and come party with us!
