Rocky Mountain Equality

We are stronger when we stand together. Thank you, Rose Community Foundation, for standing with us.

A huge thank you to all of our staff and volunteers who made Boulder Pridefest and all the rest of our Pride events around the state possible. This crew stuck it out to help unload all of the tables, chairs, etc. after the event last night. A big shoutout to our staff who weren’t here because they were already at another event. Our team works hard for the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado.

Do you want to fight the anti-LGBTQ+ ballot initiatives that are in process in Colorado?

The Boulder County Courthouse, where Clela Rorex issued the first same-sex marriage license in the USA, was featured in a great story by Commercial Observer on LGBTQ historical sites. #LGBTQ #History #Equality #MarriageEquality #PlaceMatters #HistoryMatters

"We know that we’re targets. And how do you remain brave and hopeful in all of that? Through community." -Mardi Moore, RMEQ Executive Director That's why we need Pride Month -- to be in community, to find queer joy, and to celebrate who we are and who we love. The LGBTQ+ community is stronger together.

It was wonderful to see so many community members at our Longmont Pride Festival last week. Thank you to all of the volunteers, performers, and partners who made it possible. We've got a lot more going on this month for Pride! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/gFK8RWhd

While a new Southern Poverty Law Center report shows a rise in hate groups in Colorado and nationally, there is also evidence that more and more people are pulling away from these groups as they reveal their extremist agendas. https://lnkd.in/e2ZnqD9F

This is a natural evolution for us. The needs of the LGBTQ+ community don’t stop at the borders of Boulder County, so why should our work? Over the last decade, we have prided ourselves on meeting LGBTQ+ people and communities where they are, along the Front Range and beyond. #LGBTQ+ #Colorado #RMEQ #RockyMountains
