""Why - because you haven't had to fight for your rights. Because you haven't ever had to worry about not feeling safe in the space. That's why we have this, so that kids that are figuring themselves out to the parents that might need support to the people who moved here from another state who didn't have that safety or that community can see it on the mountain.""
""It's shifting the narrative of who belongs on the mountain. From the incredible women's weekends that Keystone does, the veterans' weekends, to have community, you have this sense of it's not just me on the mountain alone. Our community should be celebrated and seen.""
The Keystone Pride Festival, organized by Mountain Pride, aims to create a safe and welcoming environment for individuals of all identities. It addresses the need for community support, especially for those who may not feel safe in other spaces. The festival celebrates diversity, shifting the narrative of who belongs on the mountain. Over three years, the event has grown significantly, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and recognition of various communities, including women and veterans, fostering a sense of belonging.
