This year's theme is: Houston, the beat goes on!

The theme pays tribute to the trailblazers who inspired change and how not even a pandemic will stop the LGBTQ community from celebrating and fighting for equality.

In March, Pride Houston announced a major rebranding with a new logo and theme that will celebrate Houston's LGBTQ+ community year-round.

"Pride Houston is now Pride Houston 365," the organization said. "As of 2022, no longer will we only celebrate in June ... We will continue to strive to promote equality and inclusion through celebration and plan for numerous LGBTQIA+ events all year long to support our community."

Under the rebrand, Pride Houston 365 said its raising funds for youth scholarships and offering ongoing health and wellness education.

KHOU 11 News is proud to partner with Pride Houston 365 to help support and celebrate the work being done by the organization.

We will be streaming this year's Pride parade live on our website.
