Our Mission
Community
We want the LGBTQ+ community to have various opportunities to come together and build ONE network, ONE family that helps each other thrive and live our best lives right here in Huntington.
Visibility
We know there are plenty of people in our community who don’t realize what a large, diverse and vibrant LGBTQ+ community lives and works right here in Huntington. We also know there are many who are still struggling to come out and accept themselves. Each and every time we hold a public event, we make it easier.
Empowerment
With numbers comes power. We have the power to impact our entire community by harnessing the unique abilities and talents among our LGBTQ+ residents. We also have the power to effect positive change where our own civil rights are still lacking.
Reaching out…
"The stories and the reasons why people are wanting to join in are amazing. I have cried more happy tears over the last few weeks than I have in forever . If I can help just 1 person to know they arent alone and that they are loved then my goal had been met!”
— Amy, Organizer of ‘Free Mom Hugs’ for Huntington Pride Festival
Education and Outreach
We feel the responsibility to provide opportunities for education among our own community and for our allies through events and partnerships.
Culture
Born from protest, Pride has evolved into a celebration of our culture and history. We love providing outlets for our community to get together with our allies in a SAFE environment. Join us in the celebration of loving and accepting others AND yourself for who you genuinely are.
