It’s Pride Month!

While this is an occasion to celebrate queer joy and the many contributions of the LGBTQ+ community, this month also serves as an opportunity to reflect on persisting prejudices and challenges.



Education is one of the most powerful tools we have to combat ignorance. In that spirit, we’re sharing some valuable resources from the Pride Center of Vermont. Check out their page at www.pridecentervt.org/education for information that helps demystify terminology, clarify common misconceptions, and guide meaningful allyship. Be sure to explore their events page for celebrations around the state and keep an eye on VAL’s social media for more details on the festivals we’ll be attending throughout the summer!
