Happy 2024 Pride Month! In honor of Pride, we have compiled a list of resources for celebrating and supporting our LGBTQIA+ community. Below, you will find resources, information, and events, from Boston University, the greater Boston community and beyond.<\/p>\n
We recognize that this is not an exhaustive list, and we are always willing to add more resources, information and events. Please email GMS Community Relations Specialist Sarah Rowan at srowan@bu.edu<\/a> <\/a>if you have a resource you would like us to include below.<\/p>\n The BU Out List is a collaboration between the BU LGBTQIA+ Faculty & Staff Community Network and Q; the Queer Activist Collective.
