Blue Ridge Pride, Bill Kaelin Marketing, the Grail Moviehouse and Western North Carolina AIDS Project are sponsoring a quarterly film series to begin December 4th at 7pm with "Paris Is Burning". Each quarter, a different film will benefit a local nonprofit serving the LGBTQIA+ community: Youth OUTRight, WNCAP, Tranzmission, and Blue Ridge Pride. And each film will have a unique talk-back, performance or other element to enhance the film experience.

Join us December 4th at the Grail for "Paris Is Burning" and a performance by local drag icon Ganymede.

Our mission is to promote equality, safety, and quality of life for western North Carolina’s LGBTQ and allied communities, working as a united community through advocacy, celebration, education and service. We envision an inclusive community, where people are embraced for who they are and feel welcomed to engage and contribute.

A queer youth at our last festival (shouting): "I have never felt so powerful!"
A First Baptist of Asheville mother (in tears): "I never realized that our presence here was so important."
