Upcoming Events

On June 22 people from all across the state will gather in front of the capitol building at 10am on Saturday, June 22 in Harrisburg  in support of marriage equality and non-discrimination for members of the LGBT community.

The rally will take place on the stairs and sidewalks surrounding the building (North 3rd and State Street). Participants will make their voices heard to the PA legislature, letting them know that the entire state of PA is demanding true equality and civil rights for all.

PFP Vice-Chair Wendy Forbes is one of the organizers of the event, and PFP is cosponsoring a bus that leaves from the William Way Center at 7am. E-mail Wendy for more details.

Join PFP at 11:30am on Sunday, June 9 at 13th and Locust and board the PFP trolley in the Philly Pride Parade. The parade goes from the Gayborhood in Center City to Penn’s Landing, arriving around between 1-1:30pm. We are normally near the front of the parade, so families can get out and watch, go the festival or catch a ride on the trolley back to Center City.

At Penn’s Landing, Philly Family Pride will again be sponsoring the Family Zone during the Pride Festival as a place for LGBT parents to stop by with their kids.

Thanks to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion for sponsoring the trolley again this year.
