Hey there, Secular FAM and happy summer! It’s graduation season, and Pride month is right around the corner. Kids are out of school, and if you’re anything like me, you try to hit the road once the Phoenix metro area hits triple digits and hightail it outta Dodge.
That’s just what I did, and this past weekend, I spent Saturday in Kingman Arizona for their weekend Pride event. Apparently, this is their SIXTH annual Pride event, and there were dozens of vendors and organizations tabling at the event. There was a DJ, a stage, multiple performers, and crafts for all ages.
On a side note, a past Secular Star (2024), Deneh Dennison, organizer of Bullhead City Pride and the Pride Center, recently passed. She was a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ folks in Mohave County and she will be sorely missed.
It was super fun. I was worried there would be some kind of protestors or ne’er-do-wells, but during the Saturday that I was there, no such knuckleheads revealed themselves. I didn’t come back on Sunday, so for all I know, the bigots came after Sunday church service.
