The worldwide LGBTQ+ celebration begins on May 17.
Christopher Wiggins at The Advocate:
WorldPride 2025 organizers in Washington, D.C., have been forced to relocate multiple landmark LGBTQ+ events from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts following President Donald Trump’s unilateral takeover of the storied institution earlier this year. The Capital Pride Alliance confirmed that its Tapestry of Pride programming — originally scheduled to feature portions of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, a reading room, and a family-friendly drag story time at the Kennedy Center — will now be held at the WorldPride Welcome Center in downtown D.C. The Associated Press first reported the news. [...]
A sweeping political and cultural shift
Trump’s February move to fire Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter, oust the bipartisan board of trustees, and replace it with political loyalists — including Second Lady Usha Vance, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino — fundamentally changed the Kennedy Center’s leadership structure. Trump then appointed himself chairman and tapped Richard Grenell, the gay former ambassador to Germany turned MAGA operative with no arts management experience, as its executive director, a position that did not previously exist. In a February Truth Social post, Trump promised “NO MORE DRAG SHOWS, OR OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA,” framing his changes as part of a “GOLDEN AGE of American Arts and Culture.” Within days, LGBTQ+ events tied to WorldPride began disappearing from the Kennedy Center’s calendar, as The Advocate reported. The International Pride Orchestra’s planned June 5 concert was among the first to be canceled.
The Trump Regime-controlled Kennedy Center cancels all WorldPride 2025 activities.
