We hope you're all having a safe and happy Pride Month 🏳️🌈
We thought we'd take a moment in the midst of all of this Pride Month hullabaloo to share a bit about why LGBTQ+ Allyship is a visible part of Red Horse Center.
As our Allyship has grown in presence, in our programs, and overall community outreach, we have learned how it connects and represents an overall sense of community and support.
It's a reflection of Red Horse Values, including who we are and where we are.
In our historically relevant LGBTQ+ community, we feel it's important to understand what it looks like to support all community members. That includes making sure those who face bigotry and exclusion see many consistent cues that they are welcome and safe.
We have met and connected with so many people as a result.
Allyship is a universal approach to expressing cues of safety to those around us. The current socio-political climate has made it more important than ever. We believe the same lessons and approaches apply to all & different groups of people, especially those who have been oppressed or marginalized. Like being trauma-informed, it's a mindset and a way of being.
Our strong, visible focus on LGBTQ+ Allyship is based on our relationships, partners, and neighbors. It's an essential part of our community makeup, and we've found that our trauma-informed services, working with horses, dogs, art, and nature, are a good fit for holding space and offering opportunities that are meaningful and helpful to the community.
We have Allyship Trainings on June 11th and 25th, and Thrive Pride for Trans Week with Campit on June 24th and 26th. More Thrive Prides in July, August, and September.
Hope to see you soon!
Happy Pride! 🌈 ☮️ 🐴
