We have had a few people ask us "why".

Why here? Why Pride? Why is this important?

Pride is an opportunity for the LGBTQ+ community to come together, to lean on each other and to offer the kind of support that they don't get elsewhere in their daily communities. And it is a time for allies to come alongside and express their support for their neighbors.

Pride Orange City is here to say that we are standing beside you. Our intentions are to connect, educate, and provide valuable resources that the LGBTQ+ community can utilize. 

Our home is here in Orange City and Northwest Iowa and we want everyone to feel safe and accepted. We want to educate about LGBTQ+ culture and history and to uplift and celebrate our community.  

You are our family. We are proud to stand with you.
