Pride Month is a month that's dedicated to the support of LGBTQIA+ and celebrating LGBTQIA+ culture. The reason Pride Month is in June is to correspond with the Gay Liberation Movement leading to the uprising of Stonewall. As we honor those who have paved the way for LGBTQIA+ rights and stood up to stigmas and being themselves, celebrate by checking out these events below! Have a happy and safe Pride!
When: June 9th at 7 pm
Where: Trenton Thunder Ballpark
Come out and celebrate pride with a great night at Trenton Thunder! In addition to Pride Night at the ballpark, it's also Thirsty Thursday with great deals and drinks to satisfy. To end the night, stick around for the postgame fireworks!

Join us for the return of The Golden Gays™! The Golden Gays™ or GG™ have quickly emerged as the premier Golden Girls musical show in the country. This evening event takes place in our intimate studio space and is an interactive musical game show performance called "The Golden Games."
More about GG™: The Golden Gays™ burst onto the scene in 2017—first at RuPaul's DragCon NYC, then at the famed Rue La Rue Cafe, where their trivia show video went viral. What began as a flash mob has now skyrocketed to sold-out engagements all across America and even the high seas. GG™ tours with their hit musical shows “Hot Flashbacks,” “The Golden Games,” “Thank YULE For Being A Friend,” and "Betty & Bea Against Humanity," to enthusiastic audiences in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and the middle of the ocean.
