Reflecting on a truly special Pride celebration last week hosted by The Equality Fund. TQNC was honored to attend and celebrate alongside so many dedicated individuals and organizations at The Pryde Community Center in Hyde Park.

We loved being there as The Equality Fund announced their new grantees, highlighted the incredible transformative work of their nonprofit partners, and acknowledged the crucial commitment of their donors. Their mission to advance the equitable treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals and their families in Greater Boston is so vital, and we're proud to be a part of it.

The spirit of community was beautifully captured by Gretchen Van Ness from The Pryde, who shared, "We don’t know what the future holds but we do know one thing: whatever happens next, we’re in this together.”

A special thank you to Scott Knox from The Equality Fund for his incredible work in orchestrating such an impactful event and fostering these essential partnerships. It was also wonderful to connect with new and past nonprofit grantees, donors, collaborators, and hear from The Boston Foundation's President and CEO, Lee Pelton. And a big shout-out to Living Water for an amazing performance that brought so much joy!

🚨UPDATED VENUE ALERT!🚨 you all are INCREDIBLE! The RSVPs are rolling in and it looks like we outgrew our planned venue so we’re migrating our meeting spot to The Alley!

Grab your glue sticks and get ready to spread some love!

TQNC is teaming up with Everyday Boston for a night of Valentine’s crafting and card-making—all in the name of kindness. We’re helping them hit their goal of 5,000 handmade cards to brighten up the city, and we need your creative genius.

Make a card for your bestie, your crush, your grandma, or a total stranger (because who doesn’t love a surprise Valentine?). Last year, over 1,000 cards made their way into the world!

We’ve got all the supplies, and it’s totally free to join. If you can, a $10 donation helps cover supplies.

Come make something unapologetically q***r, weird, sweet, or wildly romantic!

Huge thanks to the Mayor’s office for launching the LGBTQIA+ Partner Network and inviting us along for the ride. First meeting, and we already got down to brass tacks.

Top priorities? Building a community hub for Boston, fighting for funding and policy for our community, and boosting safety – especially for our trans and gender-nonconforming pals.

We’re also pushing for better resource sharing, mutual aid, and access to affirming healthcare, housing, and community spaces (of course!). Looking forward to continuing to meet up with this great group of advocates and community members!!

We stood strong at the Transgender Unity Rally at the MA State House today, a powerful reminder after a heavy week of legislative attacks on our Q***r and Transgender community.

We have always been here, and we will always be here—q***r people are in every community, resilient and unbowed. And we will ALWAYS be here. This isn’t just about survival; it’s about legacy. We carry the strength of generations past, those who fought battles we now continue.

This intergenerational bridge – connecting our history to our future – is where our true power lies. It fuels our resistance, it defines our unwavering spirit. And we will document every step of this journey, etching Q***r stories of love, joy and resistance into the record, so that future generations inherit not just a world where we exist, but a world where we flourish.
