Description
LGBTQ+ communities can be difficult to find in small towns across the country. Pikeville, Kentucky, was no exception until a group of like-minded folks decided to create the community they needed. Nestled in the heart of Appalachia, Pikeville features a beautiful downtown area and a storybook-esque Main Street. This presentation will highlight the strong partnership and collaborative efforts between Pikeville Pride and Pikeville Main Street, and showcase how LGBTQ+ communities can thrive when we all work together.
