Infinite Spectrum - Bold Legacies, Boundless Futures - Pride Event

We are incredibly excited to announce that we will be hosting our third annual Pride celebration to continue to provide a space for LGBTQ+ and ally legal professionals to enjoy LGBTQ+ culture and network. This year’s celebration will take place on June 26, 2025 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Millbrook Manor in Raleigh, North Carolina! The theme for this year will be Infinite Spectrum: Bold Legacies, Boundless Futures.

Our Pride celebration is a platform not only to celebrate the achievements of the LGBTQ+ community but also to foster connections among legal professionals, students, and allies. As we witness a critical moment where the rule of law and principals of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) are facing unprecedented challenges. Efforts to erode these foundational tenants threaten not only marginalized communities but also the integrity of our legal system. By standing together as sponsors and advocates, we can reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding the rights of all individuals and ensuring that inclusion and equity remain paramount in our society and that LGBTQ+ legal professional feel a sense of belonging within the legal profession. It is vital for organizations like ours and firms and companies like yours, to take an active role in promoting justice and resisting any setbacks to the bold legacies LGBTQ+ individuals have established and the boundless futures we can possibly have—it truly can be an infinite spectrum!

Established in April 2020, PMBA aims at promoting and stimulating the practice and professional expertise of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and sexual/gender diverse legal professionals and providing opportunities for legal professionals in our communities to meet and network. We have held CLE courses and networking events for our members and continue to grow in these times of adversity.

Our ticket sales and sponsorships this year will be used to continue operating and hosting more in-person events and support much-needed programming. Our Board of Directors is committed to making sure that the funds received are allocated to allow for strategic growth while also supporting the current programming we do. Your support is essential now more than ever as the LGBTQ+ community continues to be under attack and diversity programs are being cut across law firms and companies.

If you'd like to sponsor the event, please reach out to us at lgbtqbarnc@gmail.com. We look forward to celebrating Pride with you this year!
