Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender LGBT Community

 

WELCOME TO THE HOME OF CNY PRIDE!

Theme for 2025 is "LOVE Is..." 
 
 Our Mission

The mission of CNY Pride is to serve the Central New York lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community and their allies.

Our annual Pride Parade and Festival, along with similar events throughout the year, provides a forum to celebrate and affirm individual sexual and gender identity, to commemorate our community's rich history and diversity, and to renew our dedication to ending intolerance and achieving equal rights.

CNY PRIDE is a dedicated, all-volunteer, non-profit organization that proudly champions equality, inclusion, and empowerment for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies throughout the Syracuse and greater Central New York region. Founded in 1996, this grassroots movement has grown into a powerful platform for LGBTQ visibility and solidarity, offering a vibrant array of inclusive events, educational initiatives, and cultural celebrations that welcome individuals of every sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression.

From Pride parades and family-friendly festivals to workshops and community outreach, CNY Pride continuously strives to cultivate safe, affirming spaces where LGBTQ individuals — including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, and queer people — can thrive, connect, and be celebrated for who they truly are. The mission goes beyond celebration: it’s about advocating for LGBTQ rights, promoting mental health, and amplifying voices that have historically been marginalized.

With every donation and volunteer hour, CNY Pride strengthens the LGBTQ presence in Central New York, ensuring that future generations grow up in a world where love is love and equality is the standard. Whether you're part of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or a proud ally, your support helps build a more inclusive, joyful, and equitable community for all.

 
Our next meeting is on February 7th   at 6:30 PM, at the following address:
 
University United Methodist Church
1085 E Genesee Street, Syracuse
 
Please be advised that the door is locked throughout the meeting so ring the bell at the back door of the church, located in the parking lot, and someone will let you in shortly.
