Hey Gay Rodeo History Fans. The GLRHF will be helping to cover expenses for the gay rodeo and IGRA archives at 2025 WORLD Pride in Washington DC. If you have the capacity to support the effort, your donations. Large or small will be put to good use. Try the QR code below to make a donation during Pride Month. Here are some good reasons to support the GLRHF;

Donating to the Gay and Le***an Rodeo Heritage Foundation (GLRHF) supports a unique intersection of LGBTQ+ history, rural culture, and community service. Here are key reasons to consider a donation:

1. Preserving LGBTQ+ Western Heritage

The GLRHF helps document and celebrate the history of LGBTQ+ individuals in the rodeo and Western lifestyle—communities where q***r visibility has traditionally been limited or stigmatized. Supporting them helps ensure this cultural narrative isn’t erased or forgotten.

2. Promoting Inclusivity in Rodeo Sports

The foundation is affiliated with the International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA), which promotes inclusive rodeo events where all genders compete equally in all events—something not typical in mainstream rodeo circuits. Your donation helps fund this inclusive space.

3. Community Support and Education

Funds support public education programs, exhibitions, and historical archives that help people understand and appreciate the role of LGBTQ+ individuals in cowboy and rural life.

4. Challenging Stereotypes

By supporting the GLRHF, you’re helping dismantle the idea that LGBTQ+ people don’t belong in rural or rugged environments. It’s a way to affirm that q***r identity exists and thrives everywhere

If these missions align with your values—preserving history, supporting marginalized voices, or promoting diversity in unexpected spaces—then donating to the GLRHF is a meaningful and impactful choice.
