Pride celebration continues in Three Rivers with June drag show
“Although we didn’t have the board capacity to put on a festival this year, we wanted to give Three Rivers some sort of celebration,” Three Rivers Pride Secretary Alexis Jacobs wrote in a statement to Watershed Voice. “So we organized this event to honor queer folks and love, show everyone that we are still here, and raise some money towards the cause.”

Local theater celebrating Pride Month with anniversary screening of Moonlight
On the film’s 10th anniversary, organizers hope audiences recognize its significance. Monoform member Gabe Ybarra described the film not only as an important work of queer cinema, but as a film that belongs within the broader canon of American cinema.
“Now more than ever it’s important that theaters of all kinds continue to screen films like Moonlight because representation does matter. It matters on the surface level that queer and non-white people deserve a space in the industry, but on a deeper level we need these kinds of movies because they build empathy. In the same way that watching international cinema can broaden your understanding of the world and introduce you to a culture or entirely different way that people exist, movies like Moonlight can open your eyes to how different existence can be even for the people standing right next to you.”
