Stories of Pride

The series elevates queer voices to discuss their experiences as an LGBTQIA+ public servant. These stories can be uplifting and demonstrate community acceptance of the speaker’s identity, showcase difficulties that a speaker has faced and where they have found strength to press on, or how they’ve met challenges in their careers and communities. CivicPRIDE’s goal is to create a platform to discuss these experiences, the intersectionality of sexual, gender, and racial identities as LGBTQIA+ public servants, and how the different facets of your experience shape the way you serve.
