Annual Pride Guide

Each year, the Annual Pride Guide from Rainbow Pride of West Virginia shares stories, events, and resources to celebrate the state’s LGBTQ+ community. The guide is a colorful, inclusive resource that brings people together.

It features Pride events, personal stories, advocacy resources, and local businesses that support equality.

The Manahan Group is proud to help make this possible through our creative services.
