Share Your Pride Memories
Rexburg Pride wouldn’t be the same without our wonderful attendees! As we approach our Pride 2024 celebration, we want to hear all about what Pride means to you.
“I loved the [walk] and the guest speakers. I loved how I was able to see so many more queer folk and allies than I thought there were.
Being able to completely be myself for the first time in forever was absolutely amazing.”
“Rexburg Pride 2021 was one of the most affirming and happy experiences I’ve had as a queer person in my time in Rexburg. The atmosphere of support and queer joy were wonderful, and I was able to interact with other LGBTQ+ people and allies; which was amazing.
Rexburg Pride was an important moment for my journey of personal growth and self-acceptance.”
“The Pride event at Porter Park in June helped me realize that it’s ok that I haven’t figured out who I totally was but what I am is amazing and there is nothing wrong with who I am.
When I showed up to that event I felt a joy that I haven’t felt in a really long time, ever since then I have had confidence in myself and I’m proud of who I am.
Just seeing people who have the same feelings I have was so validating and wonderful that I’m not alone.”
“I felt very safe at Pride. In my identity and orientation. It was healing to see how many people are just like me. I was also pleasantly surprised to see BYUI Inclusive Services was there.
I felt accepted not only by people like me, but people not like me in the community as well.”
