depends how close the friend is. i’ve always thought bachelor/bachelorette parties were stupid. if i ever get married, no way i’m subjecting my friends to that. but if this person matters to you and this event matters to them. skip pride, duh. it happens every year. this party is (hopefully) once a lifetime.
This is right answer
I would go to the bach party....especially if she's your close friend.
I'm not a white gay, so I never really enjoyed pride celebrations tho.

Skipping an important friend event for gay pride is kind of shallow
But assuming you are a man and the "gay best friend" that bachelorette party will be hell on earth, as previously discussed on this forum
Don't skip it for Pride. Skip it bc bridal parties are the absolute worst.

If you're in the wedding party (and it sounds like you are), you may seriously peeve your friend to skip out on her bachelorette weekend in favor of partying during pride all weekend. Unless you already had irrevocable/nonrefundable pride plans, you should be going to the Bach party.
Just go to another city's pride on another weekend that month. You can get your dose of pride and have a lot of sex with strangers, too.

You can go to Pride every year, and multiple times in different cities if you want.
Go to your friend’s bachelorette.
This. Go to a different city that has pride on a different weekend

Don’t miss your friend’s party for an event that happens every year and in most large metro areas around the world. She will (hopefully) marry only once. If you miss your city pride, there will be others in different cities in weekends from May all the way into October.

2. I’d maybe skip Pride for the actual wedding. Just the bachelorette? Pass.

I’d also maybe go to neither. But impressed at everyone here being willing to give up their weekend for an out of town trip to go be a woo girl.
There’s no pride if there’s no family & friends.
If you’re standing up in the wedding, you absolutely need to go to the Bachelorette party. You shouldn’t have agreed to be in the wedding otherwise.
If you’re not in the wedding, then just say you have plans and can’t make it.
It’s one weekend. There’s many weekends during the summer to have fun. Be there for your friend! That matters more than rando hookups.
Pride over Bach unless your friends are down to make it a pride Bach!!! Can u imagine a bunch of gays doing a Bach during pride month?
Celebrate pride in the new city, get out there
I would go to Pride. My close friends would understand 😏
It depends:
1. How close you are with her
2. Are you going to enjoy the bachelorette party or would it be boring and a torture or expensive for you?
3. Any particular reason for going to this specific Pride? Wouldn't it be the same next year?
What if you go to the bachelorette party and go to another pride?

I’d skip Pride. It will be there next year.
