Our Story
Basin Pride started in 2019 as the areas only active LGBTQN+ groups banded together to provide a space of celebration for the community. With nearly 1,000 attendees, the founding organizations, PFLAG Midland/Odessa, Out In West Texas, and Permian Basin LGBTQ+, solidified a community presence here in West Texas.
With the arrival of Pride Center West Texas in 2020, Basin Pride found a new home and support in a dedicated community center focused on supporting local organizations. After a its COVID hiatus, Basin Pride returned in August of 2021 as strong as ever with a full day of vendors, entertainment, and celebration of the queer existence.
