June is Pride Month For decades, LGBTQ+ Episcopalians and allies have tirelessly worked to make The Episcopal Church a truly inclusive home, revealing God's blessing in the lives and love of our LGBTQ+ siblings in Christ.

In 2026, we'll celebrate 50 years of our church affirming LGBTQ+ people's full and equal claim to the church's love, acceptance, and pastoral care. This journey continues as we remember struggles, celebrate joy, and give thanks for love and lives that refuse to be erased.

Today, all are welcome in The Episcopal Church's ministries and leadership without discrimination. We celebrate the beauty, strength, and sacred worth of LGBTQ+ leaders.

We invite you to join us on this journey. You belong. No exceptions.
