Reading Pride Ambassador

Congratulations to our 2024 Ambassador:

Beau Dacious

Why Pride Ambassador? What happened to Ms. Reading Pride Celebration?

The title is Ms. or Mr. in any pageant or anywhere else for that matter is very gender restrictive. The diversity of our LGBTQ+ doesn’t conform to gender restrictive terms, and therefore the title of those who wish to represent our organization cannot be gender restrictive. In 2021 we retired the title of Ms. Reading Pride, announcing our Pride ambassador program. In doing so we removed the gender conforming title of “Ms.”, but also opened up our representation to all members of the community whether drag performers or not. Our ambassador will be our representative in the community and therefore should reflect the community we serve.
