MISSOULA — The calendar has turned to June which marks the official start of Pride Month and in Missoula on Saturday, the ribbon was cut for a new Western Montana LGBTQ+ Center.

The event featured special guest speakers including Missoula Mayor Andrea Davis and other members of the center.

The opening also means the Western Montana LGBTQ+ Center, the Montana Two Spirit Society, and the Gay Task Force are now under one roof.

Members of the Two Spirit Society reflected on the advantages of having these resources more accessible.

"It's about creating a very welcoming and safe space for everybody and I think you know with all of us working together I think the opportunity for us to continue to work and to get stronger and grow and hopefully then allow us to collaborate on fundraising as well," Two Spirit Society Director explained.

Missoula Pride will be celebrated June 14 through 16. Learn more at https://www.lgbtmontana.org/.
