Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batavia, NY \u2013 With the support of Rochester Regional Health and a multitude of local, caring churches and organizations, GLOW OUT! will kick off Pride Month with a variety of youth-centered events on June 1 in Batavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Festivities begin at 3:30 pm at the Jerome Center\u2019s War Memorial with a youth-created and youth-led Opening Ceremony featuring the Pride Flag being raised to Lady Gaga\u2019s \u201cBorn This Way\u201d and hearing from youth what Pride means to them. LGBTQ+ youth and their allies (ages 12-21) are then invited to GO Art! from 4:00 to 6:00 pm for their Drop-In Center which provides a safe space to share challenges and triumphs, meet new friends, and get ready for Pride. Visitors also have the opportunity to meet with a team of informed and supportive medical professionals from UMMC’s Batavia Primary Care\u2019s Family Medicine Doctors who are ready to answer questions and provide resources before summer starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fun continues from 6:30 \u2013 8:30 pm at Batavia\u2019s First Presbyterian where a number of churches and organizations are throwing a big, fabulous Block Party featuring the Ice Cream and Chill Truck, rock painting, tie-dying, and tons of family fun! Feeling extra festive? Then come dressed in your ultimate Pride outfit, ready to dance, be fabulous, and win some really great prizes! During this time GLOW OUT! will also announce their Rainbow Court made up of the youth leaders for the upcoming year. These five superstars represent youth from three counties who work hard in their high school GSAs (Gender and Sexuality Alliances), and have been selected to share their talents in education, social justice, fundraising, social media, and activity planning. They will be creating meaningful and engaging events for the region\u2019s LGBTQ+ in the year ahead and celebrated in the Pride Parade. We hope you join us in announcing and congratulating them! All ages are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GLOW OUT! is thrilled to be starting our festivities with immense community support! Your appreciation and support of the LGBTQ+ population and the need to protect our youth has never been clearer. We thank you for your support! As the youth reminds us in their choice of songs, we\u2019re all born beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m beautiful in my way ’cause God makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way
Don’t hide yourself in regret, just love yourself, and you’re set
I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pride Kick Off events are free and open to the public. Please visit www.glowout.org<\/a> for more information about the organization and upcoming Pride events, including the Parade and Festival taking place on June 11 in Batavia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
