This month marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, a series of violent protests between the New York queer community and police in response to a raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village. That moment in history is often described as the crux of the queer rights movement, and since then, LGBTQ people across the world see June as a celebration of queerness, often involving parades, dances, and parties.

Fifty years later, Portland has lost some of its gay bars, but Pride rages on. The Oregonian reports that 60,000 people are expected to attend this year’s Pride parade, and the city is throwing parties, brunches, and drag reading hours across town throughout the month.

There are countless roundups of the various official and unofficial events in Portland this year from basically every outlet in town; the thorough should get the whole shebang by reading them all. Below, however, readers will find events that directly fund queer organizations, dance parties, parades, doughnuts, and more. They won’t find tacky appropriations of queerness solely designed to make a profit, any events involving rainbow mouthwash, or events over $25, for the sake of accessibility. Note: The official Pride parade and festival is over, but there are still pride events throughout Portland this month. We’ve removed the outdated events and stocked the list with fresh things to do, just in case you still have some dancing in you.
