Join our resident queer Muslim Accessibility Coordinator & Healthcare Coordinator, Aaminah Shakur, in a low-key drop-in Zoom hang-out for Eid on Sunday, April 23, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Offerings of poetry, nasheeds, or whatever else you desire are welcome. The purpose of this space is to provide a welcoming & affirming place for Queer Muslims to be authentically their whole selves, in whatever way that looks and sounds. If you need to destress/decompress from mainstream Eid gatherings, we hope you find this space a comfort. If you miss attending Eid gatherings or have never been able to participate in them because of your queerness, we hope you find this space comforting and safe.

Please email aaminah.shakur@grpride.org for the Zoom link. You may also direct questions to Aaminah.

Some accessibility & safety notes: Zoom captions will be enabled, but unfortunately, ASL will not be available. You are welcome to choose for yourself whether to have your camera on or off, to use blurring or other background obscuring choices on camera, and to mute and/or use the chat function to communicate (the primary host is non-verbal & will use the chat exclusively). Folks are welcome to eat, drink, etc., on camera. You are also welcome to drop in, out, & back into the session.

Image description: A geometric shape in ombre shades of blue with white patterning of different geometric designs inside it and a golden circular pattern outline in the center with a white center with text that says, "Eid Hang Out, Sunday, April 23, 6-8pm". Layered over the top half of the geometric shape are six hanging gold lanterns, and across the top of the image is a tiny confetti-like vertical rainbow pattern that goes about halfway down the image.

As LGBTQ+ organizations in West Michigan, we stand united in opposition to the nearly 400 pieces of anti-LGBTQ+ and specifically anti-transgender legislation introduced across this nation.

We fight for a country that is inclusive, equitable, and respectful of all people, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. These bills seek to use the beliefs of some to restrict the rights of others. These bills seek to systemically deny LGBTQ+ folks–especially transgender people–basic human rights, protections, healthcare, identity, and public representation and to criminalize allies for supporting their right to exist.

In addition to this systemic discrimination, the impact of persistent harassment, violence, exclusion, and hate has devastating impacts on our community. As legislation increases, so does suicide and murder rates for our transgender and gender non-conforming community members, and those numbers are disproportionately Black, Indigenous, and Latine people. All LGBTQ+ youth are at increased risk of abuse, becoming unhoused, feelings of hopelessness, and self-harm under these conditions. These political attacks have no purpose other than to further stigmatize and harm an already vulnerable population. We refuse to stand by silently while our fellow community members are attacked and targeted.

We call on all communities who care for human rights to speak up against this life-threatening legislation. It is socially irresponsible ................

To read the entire statement, please go to: https://grpride.org/2023/03/united-against-anti-lgbtq-legislation/

Image description: A white square with a faded rainbow banner. At the top is the text "United Against Anti-LGBTQ+ Legislation". In the middle of the white square going clockwise are the logos for DX: Q, Grand Rapids Trans Foundation, G.I.F.T., GR LGBTQ Healthcare Consortium, River City Psychological Services, and the Grand Rapids Pride Center.

***NEW GROUP ALERT***

Starting April 14th at 7pm we will be starting our new BIPOC Young Adult Support Group!!! This group will meet every 2nd and 4th Fridays at the Grand Rapids Pride Center. The ages will be 18 to 30 years old.

This space is designed for those in the community wishing to discuss issues relevant to life as a person of color, intersecting with their gender identity and sexual orientation in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. The group discusses ways to help increase the visibility of people of color, promote social justice, share ideas, and engage in networking opportunities.

While we appreciate our white allies, we want to create a safe space for queer young adults of color specifically.

Image Description: Text says, "BIPOC Young Adult Social Group - Ages 18-30, Meets 2nd & 4th Friday 7 - 9pm. All 2-SLGBTQ+ welcome, NO allies, please; More info, contact: info@grpride.org or (616) 458-3511" A dark purple fist grasps a "rainbow" of baby blue, pink, yellow, orange, and dark cornflower blue stripes on a navy background.
