The series of events, to have been labeled the “Tapestry of Pride,” were originally planned for dates between June 5 to 8 to celebrate “Pride Month,” but were quietly cancelled without fanfare …

The cancellations spurred Washington’s Capital Pride Alliance to disassociate itself with the Kennedy Center.

June Crenshaw, deputy director of Capital Pride Alliance, told the AP that some of the events have been moved to other venues and complained that “the fact that we have to maneuver in this way is disappointing.” …

Monica Alford, the organizer of a drag queen brunch, was discouraged over the cancellation of her event, which she described as “meant to be family-friendly, just like the drag brunch was family-friendly and classy and sophisticated.” …

The Kennedy Center has released no statements about these cancellations, but the moves to scale back on the Pride celebrations began almost immediately after Donald Trump fired Center president Deborah Rutter and announced that he intended to reorganize the performance venue. …
