The series kicks off June 25 at Kimpton Aertson Hotel in Nashville and will host additional events later this year in Atlanta and Palm Springs. Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants has announced the lineup for BrunchOUT 2023, the luxury brand’s annual drag brunch series in partnership with nonprofit The Trevor Project. Giveback component: All ticket proceeds from the hotel’s Aspen Pride opening weekend events will be donated directly to AspenOUT. In addition, every Thursday this month, all proceeds from cocktail purchases at the property will also be donated to the organization. W Aspen is also offering special room reservations that include all-access passes to the weekend's events. June 3, meanwhile, will see the Pride Ball Extravaganza featuring music and special performances throughout the hotel, while there will be a queer comedy brunch June 4. The official Aspen Pride kickoff party will take place June 2 at the hotel's WETdeck, featuring a lineup of LGBTQ+ DJs. Through a collaboration with AspenOUT-a nonprofit organization supporting the LGBTQ+ community and promoting tolerance and understanding-the hotel will host a variety of Pride events every week this month, including mixology and wellness classes open to the public. W Aspen is launching Aspen Pride for the first time ever in the Colorado city's history. Here are some standout offerings we've spotted around the country. (Though there are plenty of those too!) We're observing increased efforts by event venues to take a philanthropy-driven approach, using Pride-related events to give back to nonprofit organizations that support the queer community.

Disney’s first-ever Pride Night on June 13 and 15 will include a special Pride parade with characters dressed in new outfits (pictured), an Ohana dance party with Stitch in Tomorrowland and a separate dance party along the Rivers of America, country line dancing in the Golden Horseshoe, photo opportunities with unlimited Disney PhotoPass digital downloads, and special dining and merchandise.
The official Pride Night gathering-which draws inspiration from Disneyland Paris, which was the first-ever Disney locale to host a Pride event back in 2019-is particularly notable during a time when the entertainment conglomerate is ramping up its very public dispute with Florida's Ron DeSantis, which kicked off due to its opposition to the governor’s Parental Rights in Education Act (often referred to by critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill). While the park has unofficially been home to wildly popular “Gay Days” for more than two decades, those events are organized by a third party. As Bob Dylan once said, "The times they are a-changin'." And in a major sign of shifting attitudes toward LGBTQIA+ acceptance, the family-friendly Disneyland Park in Southern California is hosting its first-ever LGBTQ Pride Night this month.
