LGBTQ Pride Resources
"Lest we forget, pride did not start out as rainbows and parades. It was protests and riots led by black and brown queer people against police brutality against our community. Happy pride month; act up, act out, and be safe."
— Whitney Campbell, MFT

QUEER & FAITHFUL? QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK ABOUT LGBTQ PEOPLE AND CHRISTIAN FAITH: PRIDE FESTIVAL FLYER
This flyer was created as a resource for the many churches in our network that participate in Pride events. It offers a faith-based message of welcome and affirmation, suggests the AWAB web site as a place to find a welcoming church, mentions the new edition of Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth as a resource for more information, and gives room for you to write in your own church information. Permission to make copies is given to all welcoming and affirming churches.
A comprehensive survey of the trans community and a place to find statistics related to discrimination and violence against trans people (executive summary is the best place to start).

GLOBAL KIDS COLORING SHEETS: PRIDE MONTH
from Tumbuh • Global Kids Rili, Phoenix, and Hannah joined some of their global friends to march for LGBTQIA pride month this year. The month of June was chosen for Pride Month to commemorate the Stonewall protests, which occurred at the end of June 1969, and the continued struggle for equality and inclusion. Good global citizenship means treating everyone fairly – including those who love and identify differently than others. Access these free digital download coloring sheets to celebrate why love wins!
