To celebrate Pride this year, MWA compiled a list of opportunities to support queer-owned and operated businesses, participate in Pride celebrations, and learn more about the historic LGBTQIA+ landmarks in our cities. This is a partial list, but it highlights some of Team MWA’s favorite spots in our neighborhoods, each linked below. As a little bonus sparkle, we made it pink.
