Although the “official” Pride Month is over, we all know that our Pride is all year long, and especially at our Queer Crush Meetups! These spaces where we are safe to be ourselves and also climb with friends & new acquaintances are the very essence of Pride 🌈. July is here, and it’s still the peak of summer, so let’s belay on and climb on!
