Who We Are

We strive to create safe opportunities for queer St. Marians to build community, learn, and have fun. Our pride events spotlight local and/or queer sponsors, vendors, talents and townsfolks. 

 

A Message from our President, Robin Awcock:

“Hello. My name is Robin. I am the mother of 2 and Grandmother of 4. I have been a member of the 2SLGBTQA+ community for 25 years, and have been resident of St. Mary’s for 23 years. I noticed that St. Marys had very little 2SLGBTQA+ presence if any. I decided to create a Facebook group called St. Marys Pride. Welcoming those in the community who identified as 2SLGBTQA+ or an ally. I noticed there was considerable interest. With that I decided I wanted to go a step further in creating St. Marys Pride and holding our very own Pride day. I had a great response to a call out to form a committee in 2022. We had 2 months to organize an event for June. We pulled it off with a very successful 1st St. Marys Pride day! We now hold events, not only in June, but throughout the year.

Look for us again this year for Pride in the Park. We are always looking for volunteers. Reach out to us at

 

 

 

 

  • Our first Pride event was in 2022.
  • In 2023, we partnered with the FOL for movie in the park, supplied transgender remembrance pins for town staff, and kicked off a D&D campaign!
  • Join us in 2024 for our 3rd June Pride event, more D&D, another movie in the park, and more!
