Being a member of BBH Pride has brought my family closer. We have learned together at workshops. We have celebrated together at Pride Fest. We have had more open discussions. We have expressed love and acceptance more. I am excited for the future!

I honestly wish a group like this existed when I was younger. I think having the extra support and resources will help so many individuals of all ages. It's nice to finally feel a true sense of community within the town we have called home for years.

The burden of education, action, and change should not rest on the shoulders of those who are being harmed or oppressed. BBH PRIDE allows me to make allyship a real, tangible practice that does good in my home community.
