Rochester Pride is committed to empowering ALL local LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies. We condemn all forms of discrimination and hate – especially concerning sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity and ability. In all of our events, we strive to create safe, open spaces where all participants can feel comfortable to be their authentic selves. Rochester Pride stands firmly against racism in our community and in society at large. We are united in our commitment to have PRIDE events that celebrate, uplift and empower all communities, including communities of color. All Rochester Pride members, vendors, participants and volunteers are expected to uphold a code of conduct consistent with these values. Do you agree to these terms?
