NEW BEDFORD It’s officially Pride month! June is about honoring and celebrating LGBTQ activism, culture and sharing your support toward the queer community.
The SouthCoast LGBTQ+ Network has planned a month-full of activities designed to entertain, educate and inspire the community. This year, amid COVID-19, the network is offering an expansive range of events and activities online and/or in-person.
“We ve come a long way and it s because of other people who really stuck their neck out and sometimes their lives,” added The Network’s President Andy Pollock. “And if we re not doing that, who s gonna do it?”
SouthCoast LGBTQ+ Network marketing director and board member, Kerry Zeida says Pride month isn’t only about recognizing the LGBTQ+ community but by using the month of June to continuing educating the world. “The goal is to have conversations and sort of widen that a little bit,” Zeida said.

The ladies of A Wicked Cabaret are excited to bring a drag show to the patio at The Alley Theatre on Saturday, April 17. The show will feature your favorite songs, four glamorous queens, gorgeous gowns, and a whole lot of sparkle.
One of the gueens performing that night is Savannah Devereaux.
A resident of Fairhaven, she learned at an early age that too much was just the right size for her. When other little boys wanted to play football, Savannah wanted to sing and tap dance. She discovered a wonderful thing called musical theater. She honed her skills on the stage. This world gave her purpose and confidence. She found a forever home in the footlights glow, and never looked back.
