Gay pride las cruces


Southern New Mexico and the Borderlands are, by their very nature, extremely diverse when it comes to community and the people who create it. Embracing the LGBTQ community, and making it part of that diverse landscape, are a source of pride in Las Cruces, where Southern New Mexico Pride has been held every year since

Unlike most Pride celebrations, however, the focus is on connecting that community to the larger picture, by embracing non-profits and local resources, rather than corporate influences. Locate out what makes Southern New Mexico Pride such a welcome addition to our area, with a week-long celebration from Wednesday, September 27 – Sunday, October 8,
