Our Accessible Virtual Pride Our event was born from a desire from our disabled queer community members not being included in local in-person prides. Whether that was due to the lack of covid precautions or inaccessible venues, many events this year were not inclusive. We listened to our community members and decided to work together to put together this event. It has been a resounding success with many saying this was the first pride they were ever able to attend!
We are looking for sponsors, volunteers, presenters and talent for our next Pride event scheduled for July 4, 5 and 6 2025! If you have connections to your local pride organizations and want them to offer a virtual option, let them know about our project and let’s work together to get their support!

Our 2025 Virtual Pride will feature Mouthwater Dancers. MouthWater is a curated collaboration of QTBIPOC disabled artists and the culmination of years of artistic vision from Saira Barbaric (they, he, she, ze). Saira is a nonbinary Black disabled hedonist fascinated by birth, death and rebirth. They are a maker of porn, performance art, costumes, paintings and events. Barbaric grounds their work in mediums and venues considered both high and low art with the aim at weakening the barrier between the two. After a BFA in costuming for theater, Barbaric worked in film and nightlife with an ongoing fixation on crafts and art objects. Calling Up Justice supported their live festival in 2024 and now will be building their new digital territory MOUTHWATER CUNTRY featuring new performers, a cool gathertown space, and the CripDance Gallery.
