Building Bridges

Pillars of Pride

Symbolized by Burlington's iconic Great River Bridge, we're all about building bridges within our community. Because the integrity of a structure is only as good as the strength of its foundation (and we want to build bridges that last), our ethos is built upon these Pillars of Pride:

Respect

Abiding by the golden rule, 'Treat others the way you would want to be treated," we're committed to providing safe and inclusive spaces in Burlington, Southeast Iowa, and beyond and lifting up the voices of marginalized communities and those who value acceptance and respect.

Education

Regardless of your 2SLGBTQ+ knowledge level, we're ready to meet you where you're at in a non-judgmental space. We pack Pride full of educational programming and resources and invite you to ask your burning (and respectful) questions.

Liberty

Shout out to the First Amendment for protecting our fundamental human right to free speech, religion, press, assembly, and to petition the government! There are a million different ways to human, and we strive to put together a diverse program that reflects that. Want to get involved? Submit an application today!

Advocacy

We're committed to using our platform to empower, and amplify the voices of marginalized communities in the 2SLGBTQ+ community and beyond. Nelson Mandela said it best: "As long as poverty, injustice, and gross inequality persist in our word, none of us can truly rest."
