#PrideMonth kicks off in #Maine with celebrations and resources for #LGBTQ+ community :better_pride: 🏳️‍🌈

by Aysia Reed, June 2nd 2025 at 5:59 AM

#PortlandME (WGME) -- "It's Pride Month and there are multiple celebrations kicking off across the state this June. It's also important to recognize resources available for the #LGBTQ+ community.

#EqualityMaine is an organization working to secure full equality for #LGBTQ+ people.

"They have plenty of resources for LGBTQ+ youth, including what #StudentRights are in #Maine to information about #QueerCamps for ages 13 - 17.

"Equality Maine also has resources for networking for older adults. That includes a virtual statewide social hour on June 11 and a LGBTQ+ lunch in Hallowell at their community center.

"The group says there has been a lot of concern about changes to transgender health care but ensures there are still strong legal protections in Maine for #transgender health care in the state.

"There are Pride celebrations taking place in Portland, #OgunquitME, Lewiston-Auburn, and more this month.

"The #PridePortland Parade and Festival will be held in Portland on June 21.

"It's Maine’s largest Pride parade. It kicks off at 1:30 p.m. at Monument Square with more than 100 groups expecting to march.

"This year's theme is '#MaineTranscends.'

"A three-day Pride celebration will be held in Ogunquit. The weekend Pride celebration kicks off with a Pride Picnic at The Front Porch and a Kick-Off Party at the West Meadow Pub on Friday evening with live music and Pride themed cocktails.

"The main event is a Saturday flag raising in Veteran’s Park, followed by a 'Pride in the Park' event featuring food trucks, live entertainment and LGBTQ+ vendors promoting items, programs and services.

"Folks in Lewiston and Auburn kicked off Pride Month on Sunday with the Great Falls Pride march. The organizers of the event say it’s so valuable to recognize this month.

" 'Given politics and the state of the world right now there is a lot of rhetoric and a lot of strong feelings against our community right now, so I think it’s good to have a space to come together to celebrate and it’s wonderful to see allies together, people show up for us,' said Alex Pine, a #GreatFallsPride organizer.

" '#Queer, #TransPeople, come from all walks of life. We come from all creeds and colors, and it's good for us to come together and see that for each other,' said Beatrice Roseland, who attended the Great Falls Pride march."

wgme.com · Pride Month kicks off in Maine with celebrations and resources for LGBTQ+ communityBy Aysia Reed, WGME

I love my peeps at #WMPG! Despite threats of funding cuts to #CPB (which helps fund WMPG as well as Public Radio and Television), they are still celebrating #PRIDEMonth! YES!

"This June, WMPG is turning up the volume on love, identity, and community. Join us for a month-long celebration featuring #queer-themed music, powerful storytelling, and special programming that honors #LGBTQ+ voices past and present. From thought-provoking podcasts to live shows spotlighting queer artists and activists, we’re proud to stand with the community and share stories that inspire, uplift, and unite. Tune in and celebrate Pride with WMPG all month long!"

#PortlandME, 2 Maine counties named 'sanctuary jurisdictions' by Trump administration

Brad Rogers,WGMEFri, May 30th 2025 at 8:04 PM
Updated Fri, May 30th 2025 at 10:29 PM

PORTLAND (WGME) -- "The Department of Homeland Security is putting more than 500 '#SanctuaryJurisdictions' across the country on notice.

"The Trump administration says cities and counties on the list are obstructing immigration enforcement and standing in the way of President Donald Trump's #MassDeportations.

"Portland, #CumberlandCounty and #HancockCounty made the list in #Maine.

"Cumberland County believes it made the list because it won't illegally hold detainees for ICE and won't do ICE's job.

"The Trump administration is increasing pressure on communities it claims are protecting people who they say are 'violent criminal illegal aliens.' " [You know, like trade workers and business owners!]

'I felt so powerless': Rally held in #PortlandME for 2 men being held by #ICE in #Maine

Fri, May 30th 2025 at 5:34 PM

PORTLAND (WGME) -- "Two men, who had been working in Maine's trade industry, vanished Monday morning.

"They're allegedly now in the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.

"Their partners say it has been a nightmare to even nail down where they're held or why.

"Lucas Segobia and Marcos Henrique, both Brazilian nationals, were driving into Maine for work early Monday morning.

"Segobia’s fiancée, Laura Anderson, says she was on the phone with him when a Maine state trooper pulled them over at the #I95TollPlaza.

"The reason was an 'off-center' license plate.

Anderson says state police turned the men over to Border Patrol."

SCARBOROUGH (WGME) -- "People lined a street in Scarborough Thursday to protest the Trump administration. Scarborough Democrats organized the demonstration.

" 'This is not just a Democratic Party issue, this is an American issue, and we all should be standing out waving signs, voting especially, to show what we stand for as Americans,' Jonathan Anderson of the Scarborough Democratic Committee said.

" 'People are great, and people are kind, and we are not the way our President is, which is cruel,' protester Nina McKee said."
