Now more than ever, we as a community must come together like we have before over the last 70+ years!

Join us as we learn, grow, and support one another in the community. 💜

2024’s Community Conversations

October’s Community Conversation

In October’s Community Conversations, we began a meaningful and insightful discussion on the significance of LGBTQ history, especially in New Mexico and Santa Fe. Attendees explored the roots of our community, the contributions of local LGBTQ trailblazers, and the importance of remembering and honoring this history as we continue advocating for equity and inclusion. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this impactful conversation!

August’s Community Conversation

We had an amazing time at our latest Community Conversations with the Q/C event at The Center for Progress and Justice! 🌈 A huge thank you to Kerry Kehoe for their inspirational photographs that created a beautiful and thought-provoking backdrop for our discussion.

We delved into meaningful conversations about pronouns, gender identity, and the vital role of allyship in our LGBTQIA+ community. As we navigate through these complex and sometimes challenging times leading up to the November election, it’s so important to come together and support one another.
