Today, we continue
to carry the torch
lit by Rev. Troy Perry
​and speak our truth:

​"We're not
​afraid anymore."
OUR PRIDE 2021 Video Fest will feature a look at 50+ years of social & spiritual activism and fearless courage through video, audio, photos and stories, taking us from the events preceding Stonewall to the struggles, challenges, victories and hope of today -- and for our community's future.
OUR PRIDE
Join us in making compassion a clear, luminous and
dynamic force in our polarized world.
We're partnering with the Charter for Compassion International in our initiatives.

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
Charter for Compassion
Rainbow Advocacy (formerly Metropolitan Community Charities) was established in 1996, inspired by revolutionary Rev. Troy Perry, dedicated to Civil Rights, Social Action, and Advocacy, with the mission to support the LGBTQ community with local, national and global reach.
​
 With a vision to accelerate a community-wide movement following the Stonewall uprising, Rev. Perry conceived the first Gay Pride Parade which has mobilized community-building worldwide for nearly 50 years.
