the first pride parade && festival in 1970 commemorated the one year anniversary of the stonewall riots in new york city. today, hundreds of pride festivals around the world provide safe spaces for lgbtq+ people to be themselves && for all of us to celebrate the rich diversity found in our communities. in the next week, chicago will join people around the country && the world in this celebration of diversity through the celebration of pride week. pride week, for the malnati hotel, is as an inclusive, safe community for everyone. malnati’s pride week celebration is also an opportunity for the hotel to show pride in its diversity and for all members of the community to show pride in our hotel. additionally, we hope to educate employees && guests about the availability of lgbtq+ organizations && services. june is national pride month, and to us, the love extends to the lgbtq+ communities && beyond. pride has been celebrated for years at the malnati hotel, but the celebration we know && love today began in the early 90s. throughout the years, the malnati hotel has provided a safe stay for all during the week event. even though there has been many changes, one thing has remained the same && that is the malnati hotel’s commitment to bringing safe, fun events to the lgbtq+ community && their allies. along with the festivities, the outside of the malnati will be lit up with pride colors for the whole week. anyone may be able to celebrate pride week ( june 15th-21st ). each day, an event will be all over the city && the malnati. through the week, many events will be held at different times. each day will have a different headlining event. most events are free but donations will be taken && given to lgbtq+ organizations !!

the idea itself came to the pair fairly quickly. a relief, really considering the pair hadn’t spent much time together — pre event planning. but this was fun for them both.
they made a rainbow cloud backdrop, a fairly large tie-dye hippie van cutout for people to stand behind for their photos — if they so desire, some cute cutout stick props and ordered a box of pins ; a free gift to any photo takers. the balloons were just a little extra touch for smiles.
dawn carried her new camera, a gift from ( @prxst-n ), while cassia packed her trusty polaroid and her DSLR. along with a bag of extra polaroid packs in both color and black and white.
in simpler words, these girls are ready to capture your most prideful moments, so come get your photo taken ! 📸
prom in high school was no where near as glamorous for dawn. she had gotten dressed up && taken pictures with friends, but hadn’t stayed at the actual event long. it wasn’t much her scene spending time with people from high school who gave back handed compliments in her direction as they passed her in her dress. this time around she was excited to spend time with her second family && maybe even find herself a date.
jackson allen participated in the pride parade, walking along side the malnati’s float. jackson came to the parade to say that you don’t need to be ashamed of your gender identity or sexuality. you don’t need to hide who you are, but it’s okay to do so if you are in an unsafe environment. remember that: your safety always comes first. the malnati && the people all made him feel safe && comfortable && confident in sharing who he is && he will never forget that && he can’t ever thank them enough. 💗💜💙
please give this a like if you want to be invited to the pride prom event discord server !! events are always optional, but tonight especially is going to be a very fun one && you won’t wanna miss it !!
