June is Pride Month but the organization that produces Arizona’s largest LGBTQ+ cultural celebration has filed for bankruptcy.
The history of Phoenix Pride goes back to a 1981 gay rights march through downtown to the state Capitol.
Now court records show that the nonprofit corporation has between $0 and $50,000 in its coffers. And Phoenix Pride also has around $430,000 in debt.
Most of the total is folded into a breach of contract lawsuit filed by Pride Group LLC, which allegedly has not been paid for providing certain event management services during the Phoenix Pride Festival last October.
