2025 has seen an alarming surge in homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia—and we are NOT having it. 🔥

This year’s theme—“the power of communities”—is a reminder of our collective strength. As the nation's largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them, we have proved time and again the value of communities in providing support and driving change.

Founded by a family who led with love over 50 years ago, we will not rest until we achieve our vision: an equitable and inclusive world where every LGBTQ+ person is safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
