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. Keep up with the latest in LGBTQ+ news and politics.
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.
In an interview earlier this year, Capital Pride Alliance executive director Ryan Bos told The Advocate his organization had engaged in contingency planning amid concerns about the Kennedy Center’s direction under Trump-installed leadership. That foresight has proven critical.
