Boro Pride, Statesboro’s official Pride organization, will host a virtual event Saturday to celebrate LGBT History Month and Statesboro’s LGBT community.
A local Pride celebration was originally scheduled as an in-person event for June 2020 but was rescheduled because of COVID-19 concerns and has now been reformatted.
The new event, Virtual Boro Pride 2020, will happen Saturday, Oct. 17, at 7 p.m. The evening will feature drag performances, a DJ, story time, a “kiki” chat session with Boro Pride members “and much more,” Boro Pride’s announcement promises.
Attendees may watch the live event here: tinyurl.com/BoroPride2020 (Passcode: Pride) or via Facebook Live (@StatesboroPride).
Through last Saturday, organizers were collecting 45-second videos recorded by Statesboro LGBT community members and allies explaining either what Boro Pride means to them or what living in an inclusive community means to them, or both.
