Portland’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community can be seen in businesses and events across the city but in 2020 things look a little different. The annual Portland Pride Festival, which commemorates the Stonewall uprising, was originally planned for June 13 and 14 but was postponed due to COVID-19. Instead, businesses stepped up to host a variety of virtual events in its place, proving the resiliency of this community. Follow and support these local LGBTQ+ friendly businesses and organizations that are currently open and keeping the celebration alive.
