Welcome to New Castle Pride!
We are a community of individuals who believe that everyone should be able to love who they want, be recognized for their personhood, and prioritize their well-being without facing political backlash. Our mission is to celebrate the success of individuals and showcase to the community that success can only be achieved when we see each other as equals.
At New Castle Pride, we believe that every person deserves to live their life with dignity and respect. We reject any form of discrimination or hate towards individuals based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other aspect of their identity. Instead, we celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of each individual.
We understand that being true to oneself is not always easy, and we want to provide a safe space for individuals to express themselves freely. Our community is open to anyone who supports our mission and wants to be a part of our celebration of love, personhood, and well-being.
Join us in spreading the message of equality and acceptance. Let’s work together to create a world where everyone can thrive without fear of judgment or discrimination.
Thank you for visiting New Castle Pride.
