Get ready to make some noise, Seattle! Seattle Pride has announced the 2025 Seattle Pride Parade theme as Louder. Congresswoman Emily Randall and Cheer Seattle will serve as grand marshals.
Seattle Pride revealed this year’s Seattle Pride Parade theme and grand marshals at a free social mixer hosted by the Seattle LGBTQ Commission at Benaroya Hall ahead of the Rainbow City Performing Arts concert, “Camera” on Sunday afternoon, March 9.
In making the announcement, Seattle Pride Executive Director Patti Hearn explained that “Louder” is a celebration of those who paved the way before us, of voices that shattered silence and demanded change. It honors those who continue to stand defiantly in the face of hatred. It is a promise to carry that legacy forward, to amplify every story and every truth within our community. It is a reminder that our joy, our love, and our resilience are acts of care — for ourselves and for those who come after us.
“This is not a time to be quiet. This is not a time to acquiesce extracting a list of words from our vocabulary. It is not a time to be a bystander or to allow others to stand by while bullies — those who were elected and those who were not — try to harm us. Try to erase us. Try to silence us. We’re not going to let that happen, said Hearn. “We will stand up. We will speak up. We will get loud.”
