For many LGBTQ southeast Michiganders, Ferndale pride is a must-see when celebrating throughout the month of June. This year, the Affirmations LGBTQ community center is hosting its own miniature Ferndale pride in-house to provide Affirmations programming that goes hand-in-hand with the set Ferndale lineup. Events will go on from Thursday, May 31st through Saturday, June 2. Events will include everything from a youth drop-in to a men's discussion group.
More information about each scheduled activity can be found online by going to goaffirmations.org, or by calling 248-398-7105. Affirmations is located at 290 W. Nine Mile Road, Ferndale. A full list and time can be found below:
