As the LGBTQ+ community comes together for PRIDE again this year, we continue to find ourselves in a new normal. Once again, PRIDE will be celebrated safely throughout the country this year.
We wanted to continue our outreach to everyone with our 2nd Virtual PRIDE Parade online this year. said Andy Sacher, Founder & Executive Director of THE LAVENDER EFFECT.

The organization helps to reduce shame, combat homophobia and empower LGBTQ+ youth through programs like the Virtual Pride Parade, Oral History Projects, and educational programs.
