Yesterday was Pride in the Park, in St. George, Utah. It was wonderful.

Thanks for all the hugs. The laughs. The tears. The help. Looking forward to next year!

No sides, only love.

Thank you for having me @encircle_stg and for the thoughtful gifts! I love them. You were the perfect host, Julie ❤️.

At a time when division threatens to tear folks apart, and is successful in some cases, I appreciate @encircletogether and its mission so much. It is especially needed now!

Healing really does happen in community, and safe spaces matter.

This week, we’re highlighting @encircletogether, a Utah nonprofit that supports LGBTQ+ youth, young adults, and families through connection, community, and affirming support.

Resources like Encircle matter because belonging can be protective. When young people have places where they feel seen, supported, and safe to be themselves, it can make a meaningful difference.

We’re grateful for organizations helping LGBTQ+ youth and families find connection, support, and community close to home.

Have you heard of Encircle?
Could someone you know benefit from their services?
What other community resources should we share?
