Friend, thank you for your allyship and support of LGBTQ young people. Pride month is coming up, so we wanted to share more about how we're celebrating Pride as a community.

Pride was born from a riot: the Stonewall Uprising was a series of protests by the LGBTQ community, predominantly led by Black and Brown trans and queer people. Stonewall served as a catalyst for the LGBTQ rights movement in the US and around the world. On the one year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, the first Pride Parades were held in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

🏳️‍🌈 Ways to Celebrate Pride and Support LBGTQ Young People

Learn more about allyship to LGBTQ young people. Our 2023 National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ Young People found that 82% of LGBTQ young people reported that it would be helpful for the people in their lives to know more about support and acceptance of LGBTQ identities. Get started with these great resources:

• What is Intersectionality, Really? >>
• Guide to Being an Ally to Transgender and Nonbinary Young People >>
• Understanding Gender Identities >>

Advocate against harmful and discriminatory policies targeting LGBTQ young people. Trevor’s annual survey found that nearly 1 in 3 LGBTQ young people reported that their mental health was poor most of the time or always due to anti-LGBTQ policies and legislation. Change happens when we come together as a community and advocate for LGBTQ rights. You can join your voice with ours below:
