South Central Minnesota Pride is here to remind all of us that LGBT people are flourishing and happy all over this great state. Whether you’re looking for support in coming out, searching for an LGBT-friendly community, or looking for a fun event where you can meet new friends, SCMN Pride is working to help bring together a visible and vibrant LGBT and Allied community in south central Minnesota. Whatever your life circumstances, SCMN Pride is here to support you.
