"When my wife and I had questions about our son's sexual identity we did not know where to turn or who to ask for help. We found the Pride Center's information online and they were able to answer our questions and provide us with helpful suggestions as well as resources to access in being there for our son. The Pride Center helped to alleviate our fears and helped us to better connect with our son."

"A friend's baby brother was having a really, really hard time coming out and being gay. She asked if I had any suggestions, and I said, 'Yes! Absolutely!' I said, 'There a Pride Center on Waller and you need to take him or have him [go]. Or just call if he's afraid to show his face. Just call them and talk with them, and they'll help him, I know they will....' Later, she said he did and he's in a really good place now. It's a really, really good idea for young people just exploring who need answers. The Pride Center is wonderful, is amazing, is necessary in this community. The Pride Center will never know how many suicides they have avoided because of who they are. The Pride Center is absolutely necessary!"

...I felt so cut off from the concept of community, because that had never been an option where I was from....One of the most amazing experiences of my life to date was actually the trans and non-binary gender support group. It was such an enriching, incredible experience to be in a room full of people that were like me, which was something I thought I was never going to be able to experience. To walk into a room full of strangers and to have a shared experience and to get to hear all of their stories - it was really amazing!"
