Our Vegan Pride Parade reached tens of thousands of people at St. Louis PrideFest!

🏳️‍🌈💚🐷 Thank you to everyone who joined for our Vegan Pride Parade at St. Louis PrideFest last Sunday!

Together, we championed animal rights as a vital social justice issue, represented our local vegan community, and reached tens of thousands of St. Louisans with our message of compassionate, plant-based living.

Throughout our Vegan Pride Parade, “Go vegan!” cheers broke out several times, with dozens of people shouting their support. Vegetarians, vegans, and nonvegans alike were thrilled to see our “Eat 🍑, not Animals” banner, laughing heartily and snapping photos to share with friends and family.

The experience was overwhelmingly positive, reaffirming the power of queer vegan outreach. The LGBTQIA+ community and its allies are uniquely receptive to calls for justice, love, respect, and compassion for all beings, nonhuman animals included, making this outreach especially impactful.

At Project Animal Freedom, we're proud to celebrate Pride Month in ways both big and small. Please join us again on National Coming Out Day for our Gay Vegan Expo!
