Demonstrating pride in everyday life is a way of protesting the injustices, violence, and inequities many in the LGBT community faced in the past and present.
Gay pride is a movement as much as it a celebration of individuality. When we discuss the concept of gay pride, it means not only positive acceptance of yourself as an individual who identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender but also a sense of honor or fulfillment in belonging to the greater LGBT community as a whole. It’s possible to define it in a collective context as the confidence and self-respect expressed by members of a group who share similar identities, cultures or experiences. Pride is a feeling of satisfaction in one’s self. We invite those unfamiliar with this celebration of gay, bi and trans pride to learn more about LGBT Pride Month and discover ways you can join these festivities around the country. Pride Month is a uniquely empowering time of the year for our staff and clients. Our compassionate staff devotes their time, knowledge and experience to provide integrated health services in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. At Alder Health Services, we strive to preserve the physical and emotional well-being of the LGBT community.
