Tucson Pride organization announces it's permanently closing
ABC15 ^ | 1-21-26 | Don Davis

Posted on 01/21/2026 5:27:30 PM PST by dynachrome

In a social media announcement posted Wednesday, Tucson Pride’s Board of Directors said the organization has made the “difficult decision to close Tucson Pride as an organization" and therefore is also canceling the Tucson Pride Festival scheduled for Feb. 21, 2026.

The Facebook post, attributed to the newly appointed board, said the decision came after “thoughtful discussion and careful consideration.” The statement thanked volunteers, sponsors, artists and activists and highlighted Tucson Pride’s role in the community “since 1977,” calling it a space of “visibility, advocacy, celebration, and resilience for nearly five decades.”

I'm surprised. Arizona is pretty woke.

The money dried up.

No more queers decked out in Speedo bikinis rubbing themselves while being hauled around on floats towed by tractors and semis.

May this trend continue.

It appers from their poster that they were not the sort of folks anyone wanted around. Tucson, like most college towns, seems to get a lot of leftist influences. Arizona, like Colorado sure is not like that.

“””That’s so gay!””””

Not that there is anything wrong with that. Seinfeld.

The org had faced administrative issues, missing filings in 2021-2022 that temporarily suspended its non-profit status. It also experienced a sponsorship decline, which impacted local fundraising.

The post said all funds collected for the 2026 festival — including vendor fees, sponsorships and other prepaid contributions — will be refunded within 30 to 90 days and asked for patience while the process is completed. It did not offer further detail about the reasons for the cancellation or the organization’s closure.

The Boston Pride organization voted to cease existing because of all the constant b*tching and moaning they got from the various “they-them” organizations that demanded to be part of their parade. They couldn’t figure out how to make them all happy, and gave up.

Also the monies dried up. No grassroots volunteers. All paid to push agenda.

Interesting that a Big Media outlet found this worth publicizing. They must find homosexuality fascinating.

They couldn’t figure out how to make they/them all happy.

Never going to happen.

In Islam, there will always be some jihadi who is "more devout" than others.

In the Left, there will always be someone "more woke."

The Party of Hate / The Party of Death will always want and need More Hate and More Death.

Happiness has no place in their Brave New World
