Hey everyone, this is Jeremy with Colgay Pride, and I’m coming to you today with a message straight from the heart. Pride 2026 is approaching, and I need you to understand just how dire this moment is for us. Our funding has been cut, our support has been restricted, and our community is being pushed further into the shadows. We are fighting to exist — not just as an organization, but as a people.
This year, becoming a sponsor or vendor isn’t just participation. It’s a lifeline. It’s a declaration that you stand with us when it matters most. Because right now, LGBTQ people — especially our transgender brothers, sisters, and siblings — are facing laws designed to erase them, deny them healthcare, silence their voices, and push them out of public life. Every day, they wake up wondering if their rights will still exist tomorrow.
And while we feel isolated as a nonprofit, imagine what they feel. Imagine being told by your own government that you don’t deserve to live as yourself. Imagine being denied care, denied dignity, denied humanity. That is the reality for so many right now.
But we can push back. We can stand together. We can show the world that Columbus, Georgia refuses to be silent. Pride is where we reclaim our joy, our truth, and our right to exist.
So I’m asking — from the bottom of my heart — please become a sponsor. Become a vendor. Donate whatever you can. Help us make Pride 2026 the strongest, loudest, most united celebration we’ve ever had.
Join us June 12th and 13th at Woodruff Riverfront Park. To become a vendor today, text PRIDE26 to 706‑580‑6239. Everybody is welcome — if you’ve got love in your heart. Thank you.”
