The NWA Pride Week Parade and other Pride Week events are returning to Fayetteville this year after in-person events were canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The director of NWA Pride said this year's event will also put an emphasis on the transgender community.“Pride this year has also taken on I think a more somber tone considering what has happened in the state legislature the past few months,” said NWA Pride Director, Richard Gathright. “I think it’s back to its roots of being more of a protest this year. It’s a party too, but it’s a protest, that is what it was founded as.”For the first time, NWA Pride will be holding Trans March in support of the transgender community on Thursday, June 24 at 7 p.m. The Pride Week Parade will be held Saturday, June 26 at noon, both events will span Dickson Street.The pastor at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Fayetteville said their congregation will be participating in both events because they want to support the LGBTQIA community, including those in their own church. That's why they're extending the conversations had during Pride Month into July with a queer camp for middle and high schoolers. The deadline to register for Queer Camp put on by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is on June 1 at 11:59 p.m. Click here to register for the middle school/junior high/high school experience July 5-9: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdsuIh8un-Gwi08GkPY6FAwb7gshjVpTnYhAPXomhCi_ioa1w/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0For those who want a one-day younger youth or family experience, register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdD7QGc7MtTHtNo7MuU-FjP1Y2ufWKXj01OcCYJrkyOcYoujg/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0And adults who want a mini-experience of the camp, register for the Saturday adult day: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfbSu_As9uCrAsdjeFNIAIZTBGSiRxbi5Pc5AG-U05wlGwaew/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0
