Context:

It looks like this happened at the Cal Anderson Park in Seattle. Seattle Pridefest 2025 had a 5 block festival on June 28, 2025 that included North Broadway, Denny, and Cal Anderson Park. Both June 28th and 29th were dedicated to Pridefest, though in different locations, but based on how Beyond the Plus claims they had a booth for 2 days it seems like booths were up in the park over that weekend.

[Text on pamplet: We are a Seattle based queer organization dedicated to all orientations and identities. But what makes us different from most other queer orgs?

We believe that queerness is the state of one’s identity existing in conflict with the norms of society. Over time, various groups have campaigned to add their letter to the “LGBT” acronym, but this still fails to account for all the ways a person can be queer.

Beyond the Plus is inclusive of everyone under the rainbow, from systems, to otherkin, to MAPs, and everyone in between. We believe in Autonomy, Equality, Sex Positivity, and most of all, Unity. We know that by gathering people from all walks of life, we can band together as a single community and start a new movement.

We welcome everyone, and if you want to be a part of something radical, you can! As long as you are accepting, whether you have a letter in LGBT or not, you are invited to be a part of us.

You can join in on the fun, meet other queer people, and represent the org. We hold in-person events and think that building community is a crucial way to build a movement and show people they’re not alone.]
