Pride Inside & Out: Annapolis Pride 2020
There will be time to celebrate, but now is time to show our Pride Inside & Out by standing up against racial injustice. Please join us virtually on June 27th at 4pm to address racism, homophobia, transphobia and other forms of hate in our community. We still plan to launch the virtual festival connecting the LGBTQ+ with resources and services later this year. But right now, we are asking our supporters, partners, and sponsors to join us in a discussion about how we can unite against racism and white supremacy.

AN OFFICIAL ANNAPOLIS PRIDE EVENT!
The Singing OUT: VIRTUAL Pride Tour with Heather Mae and Crys Matthews is stopping in Annapolis!
*BECAUSE PRIDE MUST GO ON!*
Wednesday, June 6th @ 8:00PM EDT
Join us for this FREE event!
Two award-winning singer-songwriters, Heather Mae (“the queer Adele”) and Crys Matthews (“the Woody Guthrie of our generation”), are joining forces once again to VIRTUALLY spread their message of social-justice, hope and love from coast to coast as The Singing OUT Tour, a celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride! During this difficult time of social distancing, it is imperative that LGBTQ+ people and our allies gather to lift one another up and bask in the power and beauty of our resilient community! We may not be able to physically gather, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate our stories and our people. We don’t give up – we adapt!
Come dressed in your best Pride gear – however you identify! – and get ready to sing along and share connection and community in what will be a memorable VIRTUAL Pride concert! Let’s gather together in song and spirit and keep Pride alive in 2020!!
“Soul-filling” and “amazing” is the way fans described last year’s in-person tour and, with both artists celebrating new releases (Mae’s “GLIMMER” and Matthews’ “These Old Hands”), the 2020 VIRTUAL edition of The Singing OUT Tour will be a memorable and empowering gathering of community and PRIDE!

LGBTQ #BlackLivesMatter Town Hall
2020-06-01 20:00
Online Event: https://secure.everyaction.com/uGO0k4ywPEm5Cd87kt_R1w2
In response to the brutal killing of George Floyd by white police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Equality Florida will host a virtual town hall to discuss the intersections of systemic racism and injustice against the LGBTQ community and call on supporters of LGBTQ civil rights to take action.
Panelists:
– Alphonso David, President, HRC
– Andrea Jenkins, Minneapolis City Council VP
– Michele Rayner, Civil Rights Attorney
– Imani Rupert-Gordon, Executive Director, NCLR
Moderator:
Nadine Smith, Executive Director, Equality Florida
This dialogue also comes on the heels of the murders of 7 black transgender women in Florida in less than two years, the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery by white vigilantes in Georgia, and the weaponizing of race by a white woman against Christian Cooper, a black, gay man birdwatching in Central Park – all stark reminders of the need for LGBTQ leaders to speak out against the systemic racism and hate violence claiming black lives.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention-produced film It’s Real: College Students and Mental Health is designed to raise awareness about mental health issues commonly experienced by students.

It encourages students to be mindful of the state of their mental health, to acknowledge and recognize when they are struggling, and to take steps to seek help.

Queer Ancestor Workshop
2020-02-18 19:00
Our queer ancestors can show up in many ways. They can be blood-relatives who were known to be queer. They can be historical figures who lived a life in open defiance of sex and gender norms of their time, or who lead a quieter existence with questions of their sexuality left to rumor and gossip. They can be mythical figures whose stories embody themes outside of the gender binary. Regardless of who we claim as our queer ancestors, how do we honor their lives and legacies?

Lez Zeppelin at Rams Head On-Stage
2020-01-19 19:00
Lez Zeppelin at Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis
All Girls. All Zeppelin.
Since forming in 2004, the New York City-based quartet has toured throughout the United States and Europe to become the first and foremost female rock act to pay homage to Led Zeppelin and to garner rave reviews across the board. Although, LEZ ZEPPELIN stays true to the musically audacious spirit of the original, delivering the legendary rock band’s blistering arrangements and monstrous sound note-for-note at what often are sold-out frenzied shows around the world, the four women that make for the four essentially diverse elements of the band bring their own unique energy and passion to the music. Indeed, this may be the thing that serves most to set them apart. But then, there is also the seamless and strangely appropriate way in which LEZ ZEPPELIN inject their gender-bending performance into material that is often thought of as an historically male expression. For those who believe this to be the case, all that can be said is: times have changed.
Live, the group takes its lead from what Led Zeppelin did in performance, seeking to create an intense experience from the in-the-moment interaction between all the players to both recount and reinvent the musical moment for the audience.

All shows are 21+ unless otherwise specified. Any tickets suspected of being purchased for the sole purpose of reselling can be cancelled at the discretion of Rams Head/Eventbrite.
