Durango's Annual Earth Day Festival
Our local LGBTQ+ community is passionate about our Mother Earth; we have to be. Each year, we set up our booth to reach LGBTQ+ and allied individuals who attend Durango's Earth Day Festival. We won best costume of 2023, and are so excited for 2024! Come stop by our booth for free face painting.

Winter PRIDE
Winter PRIDE for the Alliance has been a small, weekend festival to celebrate and remind our community that we can have pride all year around! This festival usually features a Winter Wonderland dance, happy hours, and live entertainment. Last but not least, you know we have to get out and play in the snow in the mountains. Queer snowpeople, they exist.
Visit our PRIDE 2023 page for information on our notorious Fall Pride Festival.
World AIDS Day
The Alliance partnered with the YAY! Foundation to bring a comedy/drag fundraiser, along with an amazing comedy workshop.

COMET Training
Changing our Mental and Emotional Trajectory, or COMET, is training for responding to those in vulnerable situations. This training focuses on rural and agricultural communities, and provides in-depth insight to reacting without fixing, but rather support and understanding.
*Please contact Liza@thealliance.gay for more info on becoming registered for COMET training. Currently available to our board members.

Transgender Day of Remembrance
Please join us alongside our companion organization and Transgender support non-profit 4Star to honor, remember, grieve, support and respect our trans siblings. Although many have been lost, many are still with us, and this day (among all days) is an opportunity to tell them, "We see you. You are valid. you will not be ignored or forgotten." Please contact us for more information.
