👑🌈 Pride is more than a celebration — it’s community, resilience, joy, and showing up as your authentic self even when the world tells you not to. This year we are choosing to center being proud of ourselves and our community - those who paved the way, and those still finding the courage to live openly. You are worthy, loved, and deserving of safety, happiness, and pride. Happy Pride Month Besties, we love you 👯🕺🏻💃🏽

☀️🌈 Such an honor to join our besties in Gilroy for their annual Pride flag raising this afternoon. Local community leaders like Chef Carlos and elected officials gathered together to speak about the importance of acknowledging and celebrating pride and being brave enough to speak up no matter the pushback 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🏳️‍⚧️🌈 Q***r and Trans youth are leading the way! We are so grateful and inspired by the LGBTQ+ young folks who advocated for this amazing inaugural Pride flag raising event today in the Town of Los Gatos to kick of Pride season 2026. Huge appreciation to the voices and leaders who made this happen, you know who you are 😘🏳️‍🌈

☀️💓 All families are beautiful!! Today, we celebrate LGBTQ+ families in all their configurations, be it chosen family or otherwise. LGBTQ+ families navigate challenging social and systemic barriers while supporting one another through life’s basic day-to-day chaos. The immense love q***r and trans parents have for their children is always something to be recognized and honored. May these magical familial forms of love be protected and supported today and everyday 💗✨

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Who is ready for Pride Month 2026?! Just reminiscing on our epic 2025 pride resource fair as we get amped for this summer. Last year Cris and Amanda planned an awesome event and we are excited to recreate it again… though this time a little later in the year, with hopefully lower temps! It was and will continue to be such a beautiful celebration of community resources 🥰🌈

🎙️🌈 Being a beneficiary organization of the Elton John Impact Awards, through , enables us to continue offering new and meaningful resources for our local 2SLGBTQIA+ community 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
 
🎶 This event is more than celebration (although it certainly is that too)! These Impact Awards provide critical funding and visibility to organizations like ours, helping expand life-affirming programs and support more folks 💕
 
💪🏽 We’re also excited to celebrate the trailblazers being recognized for their powerful impact on the community. Be sure to tune in starting June 1 on the app or wherever you get your podcasts to hear powerful stories from this year’s incredible honorees 📱🎧
 

✨🌈 In honor of the end of AANHPI Heritage Month, we wanted to share these throwback pics from the Q***r & Asian Conference at UC Berkeley that our team member Amanda joined earlier this year. They found the time to be so inspiring, energizing, and empowering after attending 🥰

🙏🏽 We were grateful to celebrate community while learning from powerful workshops led by local q***r activists, and leaders who are creating change every day. Spaces like these remind us of the strength, resilience, and brilliance that emerge when our communities come together to share stories, build connections, and imagine a more inclusive future 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

✨🌊 We are excited to be collaborating with QTViet Café to host the upcoming documentary screening of Đồng Quể: Of the Same Womb, a tearjerker of a film following the journey of 13 q***r and trans Vietnamese artists returning to their ancestral homeland. The film holds space for the complex interplay of grief, resilience and reclamation ✊🏽

🗣️ We’re also happy to announce that this film is now subtitled in Vietnamese and English so we invite you to bring your Viet parents, aunties, uncles, and all elders. This is a family inclusive event. Light refreshments will be provided 🥪

🎬 The event will also feature a Q&A with our wonderful filmmakers Sage Tran and baddie translator/participant An Bui, facilitated by Irene Van. Additional Vietnamese resources will be available onsite, include local resource guides and information and training on harm reduction practices ⛑️
