Category is Resistance and Resilience

In the face of modern struggles and on the path toward a more loving and inclusive world, Aurora Pride is proud to announce our theme for 2025:

๐‘๐ž๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž & ๐‘๐ž๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž

From Stonewall to the Supreme Court, our community has endured hardship and celebrated triumph. The fight for justice and equality has never been easyโ€”but it has always been worth it.

We honor the champions who came before usโ€”Langston Hughes, Marsha P. Johnson, Audre Lorde, Sylvia Rivera, Harvey Milk, and so many others, both seen and unseen. They gave us a foundation to rise up and declare:

๐–๐ž ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž. ๐–๐ž ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ช๐ฎ๐ž๐ž๐ซ.

Resistance is in our DNA. We resist the forces that try to dim our light, control our stories, or silence our truth.

Resilience is our strength. We rally, rebuild, and riseโ€”stronger with every step forward.

These are the hallmarks of our movement. And no matter how hard they try, we will resist. No matter how hard they hit, we will rise again.

Say it with us:

WEโ€™RE HERE, WEโ€™RE QUEER, AND YOU WILL NEVER MAKE US DISAPPEAR!
