With a vision to accelerate a community-wide movement following the 1969 Stonewall uprising, Rev. Troy Perry conceived the first Gay Pride Parade which has mobilized community-building worldwide for more than 50 years.
We continue to carry the torch lit by Rev. Troy Perry
​to inspire & uplift self-compassion, encouraging us all to live and speak our truth:
​"We're not ​afraid anymore."
FEARLESS.  Just one trait which defines recipients of  the Troy Perry Awards, honoring and empowering visionary LGBTQ+ young people & community leaders who are taking a stand against fear and declaring "We're not afraid anymore."
Join us in making compassion a clear, luminous and
dynamic force in our polarized world.
We're partnering with the international Charter for Compassion's LGBTQIA+ Initiative.
The Charter for Compassion is a document created through the TED Prize that transcends religious, ideological, and national differences. Supported by leading thinkers from many traditions, the Charter activates the Golden Rule around the world.  ​Check it out
