When we first published our 2021 Ohio LGBTQ+ Lgbtq+ fest Guide, we cobbled together 15 or so celebrations from across the express, dusted off our hands, and called it a day.
Then you started writing us: “Hey! You missed this one!” and “How did you forget about this one?!” 15 listings soon became 34, and that page quickly became our second most viewed page of all of 2021.
Here we are in 2022, and the number of events has grown exponentially larger with a slew of returning events and a TON of new events, which we love to see!
We are proud to present to you here our 2022 LGBTQ+ Ohio Pride Guide, a list we will keep updating as we get more information (so please e-mail us if we missed a celebration!).

In terms of discrimination, 31 states, including Ohio, have no explicit statewide protections for LGBTQ citizens. The Village of Yellow Springs, however, was one of the first municipalities — now numbering 24 across the state — to pass non-discrimi- natory legislation.
