People always say Atlanta is a “happening” city, as if it hasn’t always been happening. The queer community here knows itself so well, with a rich background in the civil rights movement and one of the largest LGBTQ populations in the country. Queer spaces are in no short supply, and even the non-queer spaces are a little queer too. We’ve curated the best of local queer to-dos so you can experience Pride the Atlanta way.

Is there anything gayer than roller derby? The Atlanta Rollergirls are an empowering, flashy, awe-inspiring group of femme-identifying skaters and boy, do they put on a show. Buy tickets to one of their games, and even if you never cared about sports before, you will care about this sport.
