Pride 2021
Although we will not be able to gather in person this year to celebrate Pride Month, LGBTQ Life encourages you to celebrate pride in the way that makes the most sense to you. Remember that pride is for you, whoever you are, and however you celebrate!
We invite you to follow us on Instagram this month as we spotlight the importance of making pride your own. Here are a few things that are making us proud!
Featured Pride Event – A Wild and Precious Life: Celebrating Edie Windsor’s Legacy
Tuesday, June 8 at 5:00pm
Join the community for a moderated book talk and dynamic discussion with Judith Kasen-Windsor, surviving spouse of marriage equality pioneer Edie Windsor, and Joshua Lyon, co-author of Edie’s memoir, “A Wild and Precious Life.” Published in 2019, the memoir tells the story of Edie Windsor’s journey, her life in New York City in the 50s and 60s, and her work as an activist. Edie Windsor and her lawyer Roberta Kaplan received Honorary Degrees from Johns Hopkins in 2014.

We are proud of everyone who stands in support of JHU’s LGBTQA community!
Our particular gratitude to members of the OUTlist, who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, asexual or otherwise connected to our community. Members of the OUTlist share their names on our website, and are willing to serve as mentors and part of an informal network for the LGBTQ community.
We also want to celebrate members of the Ally Directory. They are campus community members who have chosen to attend Safe Zone trainings and identify themselves as supporters of the LGBTQA community. You are invited to contact them as resources and supporters.
