Pride

BE YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF

No matter who you are, you are seen, appreciated and celebrated at the Y.

Driven by a commitment to ensuring all people are treated with dignity and respect, the Y makes every effort to foster LGBTQ+ inclusion and equity. This June we are dedicated to honoring all of those who are living life as their authentic selves and also those who are on the path to that discovery.

WHAT IS PRIDE ALL ABOUT?

Pride month honors the 1969 Stonewall riots in Manhattan, a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the U.S.  It commemorates and recognizes the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally and globally.

BE AN ALLY FOR THOSE THAT IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ+

  • Terminology: understanding the specific language we use and its implications are important first steps in being an LGBTQ Ally.  Be thoughtful and intentional with language when talking with and about individuals who identify as LGBTQ.
  • Pronouns: the decision to share one's self-identify is a personal choice. Practice using preferred gender pronouns and respect individuals' self-identification.
