Introducing our 2026 CommUNITY Pride Parade Grand Marshal, Randy Burns!

A Northern Paiute activist, author, and community leader, Randy co-founded Gay American Indians in 1975, the first organization in the United States created by and for gay and le***an Native Americans.

For more than 50 years, Randy has championed Indigenous, LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit communities, preserved important cultural histories, and helped ensure Native voices were represented in the fight against HIV/AIDS. His leadership and courage have inspired generations and helped strengthen the modern Two-Spirit movement.

We are honored to celebrate Randy Burns and his extraordinary legacy of advocacy, visibility and community.

NEW RULE:

You don’t have to understand someone’s identity in order to treat them with dignity and respect.

In a world where people are constantly being told they must explain, justify, or defend who they are, let’s remember something simple:

You can choose to be kind and compassionate before you understand everything.

You can choose respect before you know what you think.

You can choose to honor someone’s humanity even when their experience is different from your own.

That’s not complicated.
That’s just being a decent human being.
