Blessed Pride! As Pride month is marked in many parts of our country throughout June, we are focusing on Pride as Witness. We are very aware that visibility is difficult and even dangerous for some in our community. Those of us who can be out and proud, in our daily lives and during Pride celebrations, bear witness to our conviction that our identities, our relationships, and our lives are sacred and reveal aspects of Divine Love that God intentionally breathed into being. We bring this belief into our marching, our tabling, and our liturgical celebrations as we reclaim Pride as redemptive. Let us use these days to witness to our wholeness and holiness, as well as to recommit to our mission of achieving justice, equality, and full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people in our church and society.

We also invite you to check out our Pride Blessings from 2021 or 2022, In Our Own Words: 50 Years of DignityUSA, or one of the many other inspirational recordings on DignityUSA’s YouTube channel for Pride Month Inspiration. Even better, join one of our Chapters celebrating a Pride liturgy, either in person or via livestream! Find information on Chapter liturgies by visiting our Chapters page. We wish you all a safe and re-energizing Pride month.
