Pride

Gay couples have always lived on Bainbridge Island. There are lesbian and gay couples raising families. There are transgender people. Just because we don’t have historic records about the LGBTQ+ community, doesn’t mean they haven’t always been here.

In the past and even today, making a public statement about a same-sex relationship is scary, dangerous, and historically illegal.

Prior to 2019, there was no Island organization to unite and support the LGBTQ+ community until Bainbridge Pride became an official nonprofit.
