To end the 2022-23 school year and mark the beginning of Pride Month, we at GLOW decided to send an email with some wonderful resources for folks to take a look at in celebration of queerness and to further education during such a month of visibility! The following are some of the resources we chose to include:
6/3: Pride in the Park (Volunteer Park, Seattle)
6/3: Taking Pride in Capitol Hill
6/23: Trans Pride Seattle (Volunteer Park Amphitheater, 6-9:30pm)
6/24: Pridefest Capitol Hill (12-8pm)
6/24: The Seattle Dyke March (Rally @ 5-7pm, march @ 7pm, Volunteer Park Amphitheater)
6/25: PrideFest Seattle Center (12-8pm)

The process of coming out looks different for everyone. That said, know that GLOW Leadership–whether it’s a student leader or advisor—is more than happy to be a listening ear or support system for you. Hiding parts of yourself can take a huge emotional toll and promote isolation. Trying to build a trusted, supportive community around yourself (no matter how small it may start out) is the best way to mitigate that!
Being part of the larger LGBTQ community can be a wonderful and joyful part of your identity, so involve yourself in that. Whether it be through going to a Pride Parade, joining GLOW in the 2023-24 school year, or finding a local group near you. If you need support, there are also organizations out there to speak to, linked below.
