🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ More GOOD queer youth news for the TL!

These students in Ewa Beach, Hawai'i got to go to Honolulu Pride!

With the help of one of our 50 States, 50 Grants, over 50 6th-12th grade students got to march in the 2023 Honolulu Pride Parade last year. Students from various schools got to network in or on their way to high school. Three middle school GSAs got to meet each other...and they even met Bretman Rock too!

💜 One student said, "Our GSA is mostly allies - and that is great - but I feel like the only gay kid at our school. At Honolulu Pride there were so many more of us, and now I talk to some other kids my age on IG and Tiktok. I feel less alone." 

💜 And a teacher said, "I will never forget what one student said when they got off the bus to join the Honolulu Pride festivities. 'Miss,' they gasped, 'There's sooooo many of us!' Nothing replaces the power of visibility and community for our youth."

We're going to keep highlighting some of these amazing projects that came out of last year's 50 States, 50 Grants, 5,000 Voices initiative for ya'll all summer!

PRIDE Across Our Four States

The historic U.S. Supreme Court ruling in favor of marriage equality on June 26th couldn’t have come at a better time as we close out the month of June, Pride month. Pride month is an annual month-long observance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) history, achievements, community, and activism, celebrated with parades, parties, and other events across the country. The month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Riots, the event that sparked the modern LGBTQ rights movement.

Pride month gives us an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and health of LGBTQ people. In partnership with our political arm, we participated at seven Pride events across our four states. Pride events and rallies have already taken place in Anchorage, Boise, Honolulu, Olympia and Seattle. This past Sunday, we marched in Seattle’s 41st Annual Pride Parade with hundreds of thousands of people. You can see more on our Facebook page here: Pride at PPGNHI. Events in Tacoma take place on July 11 and in Bremerton on July 18. 

Planned Parenthood believes that LGBTQ rights and reproductive rights are deeply connected to civil rights for all Americans. We couldn’t be more thrilled with last week’s historic decision and we see this as a major victory for LGBTQ equality and a tremendous step forward for this country.

Everyone deserves to feel loved, secure, and valued — no matter what.
