Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia. We could cite the statistics. You already know them. Some of us have lived them.
So instead we'll just say: you are not alone. Not in Noble County, not in surrounding counties. Not today. Not ever. And the best thing we can do, for each other, for the kid who hasn't come out yet, for those who watch on is silence as their rights are constantly under threat, is show up. Visibly. Unapologetically. Together. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This week, the Supreme Court declined to revisit its 2015 decision recognizing the right to same-sex marriage. While the ruling itself was procedural, it reminds us how important it is to have spaces where LGBTQ+ people and their families feel supported and connected.

If you are looking for a place to feel supported, connect with others in the LGBTQ+ community, or if you’re a family member who wants to learn how to be a better ally, we invite you to join our Pride Support Group.

We meet tomorrow at 6:30 PM downstairs at First United Methodist Church. Come as you are — all are welcome.
