We’re Still Here: Final Statement from VIVID

It breaks our hearts to say it, but as of June 1, 2025, VIVID is shutting down for good.

This wasn't an easy decision. We fought like hell. We tried everything we could. But too much came at us from too many angles, and we couldn't keep going the way we were.

All donations will be fully refunded over the next 5 to 7 business days.

To every person who stood beside us, who believed in us, who showed up when it mattered — thank you. You gave us purpose. You gave us hope.

But hear this loud and clear:

Just because the organization is ending doesn’t mean we are.
We’re still here.
We’re still loud.
We’re still queer.
And we’re still not fucking going anywhere.

They can try to silence us.
They can try to bury us.
They can throw every law, insult, and headline at us.

We don’t care.

VIVID may be gone.
But our fight is not.

So here’s our final word:

F.U.C.K.
Fight. Unite. Challenge. Keep going.

With love, truth, and absolutely no apology,
The VIVID Team
