About cosPride
Founded: 1978
The Beginning
When the modern LGBT rights movement began with the “Stonewall Riots” in 1969, the Colorado Springs LGBT community was like any other. In fact, Colorado Springs is home to some of the nation’s oldest LGBT organizations, like the United Court of the Pikes Peak Empire, founded in 1973. Shortly after the riots, what’s known as the “Community Center” movement began, and Pikes Peak Gay & Lesbian Community Center was formed in 1978, also ranking it among the nation’s oldest LGBT Centers. PPGLCC changed it’s name to Colorado Springs Pride in 2012.
Mission:
To connect, support and empower the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people of Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region to achieve civil and social equality while advocating for LGBT interests and inspiring a sense of community.
