Join us May 28: “Slice of Support” with Queer Bozeman x Bridgercare x Haven
Join Queer Bozeman, Bridgercare, and Haven on May 28 to celebrate Bozeman Pride this year, eat pizza, and learn about healthy relationships and being an ally at Pride.
Here’s what our partners say about this event:
Cami, from Bridgercare:
Hello, I'm Cami from Bridgercare. Bridgercare has long been committed to providing excellent, affordable reproductive and sexual health services and education in a safe, supportive, empowering atmosphere for all who call southwest Montana home. LGBTQ+ communities face physical and mental health disparities due to bias, stigma, and oppression, and one of the best ways to combat these disparities is to ensure that our community is safe and welcome, a place where everyone (LGBTQ+ or not) can be seen and loved for their whole, true selves! For this reason, we could not be more excited to collaborate on the 'Slice of Support' event! The Queer Bozeman and Bridgercare portion of this workshop will explore actionable steps anyone can take to show support and solidarity to LGBTQ+ communities during Pride celebrations and in everyday interactions. Join us for an informative session that promises to be both enlightening and inspiring! And if you can't make it - check out our website. We regularly hold LGBTQ+ Allies Trainings for folks working in healthcare, education, or anyone who want to support a friend, family member, co-worker, or neighbor. Happy Pride!
Jason, from Queer Bozeman:
Hi, I'm Jason from Queer Bozeman, and we are thrilled to co-host 'Slice of Support' as part of Bozeman Pride. At Queer Bozeman, we're dedicated to fostering a welcoming community through advocacy and inclusive events. We know the importance of allyship in building a stronger, more interconnected community. We’re excited to work with Bridgercare to present 'How to be an Ally at Pride,’ which will give tangible ways that allies can show their support at Pride while participating in a respectful way. And who doesn’t love pizza! We look forward to sharing this space with you and making meaningful connections that strengthen our community.
Here’s what to expect when you join us at Slice of Support:
Discussion on healthy relationships in the 2SLGBTQIA+ context, with Haven
Pizza party hosted by Queer Bozeman
How to be an ally at Pride, with Queer Bozeman and Bridgercare
We are delighted to work with and learn from our local partners, and to spread the word that Haven can support everyone and anyone experiencing intimate-partner violence. Current statistics show that folks within the LGBTQIA2S+ community are more likely to experience stalking, intimate-partner violence, and sexual assault than people who ID as straight; Haven can support you if you’re experiencing any of these harmful and dangerous behaviors. You’re not alone, and you deserve to feel safe in your relationship. Click “chat now” at the bottom right of this screen, or call Haven’s 24/7 support line at 406-586-4111 to get support from an advocate.
Follow us on socials this month and next, and follow Queer Bozeman and Bridgercare as well. We look forward to seeing you on May 28!
