About this Event
This Pride Month, we’re not just celebrating - we’re showing up, speaking out, and standing strong.
The LGBTQ+ Unity Summit is a grassroots revival of a beloved regional tradition. After the closure of its original host organization, a passionate group of former organizers and community members came together to keep the momentum alive. This year’s Summit is a call to action—a space to recharge, reconnect, and recommit to building inclusive workplaces and resilient communities.
This year’s theme, Building Bridges, is a direct nod to our host city – Pittsburgh, also known as the City of Bridges.
