The Portland Pride Waterfront Festival and Parade is preparing for some major celebrations in downtown Portland.
Although the events take place over one weekend, July 18-19, Pride Northwest works year-round to support the LGBTQ+ community.
Executive director Debra Porta joined us on AM Extra to discuss their work and introduce us to two newly crowned Gay Prides Pageant titleholders: Mr. Gay Pride of Portland 2025, Austin Lindsey, and Mx. Gay Pride of Portland 2025, Mr. Missy.
