Our celebrations will begin on May 28th in advance of the Revs’ match against the Seattle Sounders. We will host a tailgate in our traditional parking lot at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, where the celebration of the LGBT community in and around soccer will begin.
Celebrations will continue at the Boston Pride Parade on the morning of June 11th, when the we join with friends and guests to take our place in the parade to show that sports, and Major League Soccer especially, are a home for LGBT fans, players, and their allies. The parade begins officially at noon, with details on where we will be in the parade to come closer to the event. All members and their friends and families are welcome to join us as we sing, chant, shout, and share the love.
Inside the stadium, the Riders will demonstrate support for and celebration of the LGBT community with colorful tifo displays.
Join the Facebook event and invite your friends here.

Scarf
In our celebration of our 4th Pride Night we wanted to do something special, so we are excited to offer our first Pride Scarf!
These are limited to 100 scarves and can only be picked up at our Pride Night tailgate on 5/28 at Gillette Stadium.
All proceeds are going to the Waltham House, a project run by The Home for Little Wanderers. From their website:
Waltham House is a group home program designed to provide a safe and supportive living environment for up to 12 gay,lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) youth ages 14-18. The program also serves youth who may be questioning (Q) their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Many young people have previously experienced difficulty (at home or in placement) due to their gender expression or sexuality identities. Waltham House offers residents a safe environment to live while they prepare for family reunification, independent living and future self-sufficiency.
