Our non-gendered, non-binary t-shirts are Yellow this year and say, “Hugs, We Care,” on the front and, “You Matter,” on... + More

Terms & Conditions

Walking for long distances and standing for long periods of time required for this task. You must be willing to speak, engage, sit, talk, listen and hug, if consent is given, all persons. No exceptions. No photos! Unless requested, and only if you give consent, too. Pride is a Safe Space and, therefore, confidential.

You must be willing to hug anyone! Also, be aware that not everyone may want a hug. Some people may prefer a handshake, elbow bump, high five or just need a listening ear. If someone is acting in a way that is making you uncomfortable, direct them to our tent. Pride is a Safe Space for you, too.
