Event overview

Philly Pride Social Event! Come and join us as we celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month at Nomad Pizza. Together, we’ll honor the service of LGBTQ+ veterans and show our support for LGBTQ+ communities across the country. The number of LGBTQ+ individuals that have served and continue to serve in our military is uncertain, but their commitment to serve here at home is not. Our ranks at The Mission Continues include veteran leaders who self-identify as LGBTQ+. Despite many serving under the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and other institutional challenges, their contribution to our country continues today in TMC blue. After lunch, can head over to Drexel to check out Stonewall 50th at Leonard Pearlstein Gallery to learn more about the history of Stonewall. The Stonewall Riots marked a pivotal moment in the struggle for queer liberation in the USA.It is a free event located at 3401 Filbert Street.
