“We want to assure our Black followers, our followers of colour, that we are not just there for the algorithm. We are not just there during the riots. We are not just there to honour Marsha, Sylvia and Stormé once a year...because their activism did not start and stop at Stonewall. And yours should not stop here either. We're here always. And moreover, we're not just here for you - we are you. Our leaders, our team, our family, our advisors, our contributors, have queer people of colour front and centre. We always will.”

What we do
In every event, project, or initiative we produce, we will always work with a person of colour. And we believe in paying for that work. That’s why we’ve launched our QTPOC Creatives fund, so that any donations you make to House of Pride will go directly to paying Black, Asian and underrepresented artists.
