Somewhere Over the Rainbow: Unpacking the Anti-PRIDE Backlash
Join us from FH for an HGP open discussion about the Anti-PRIDE backlash sweeping America. We’ll contrast hard-won civil rights protections for the LGBTQ+ community, from marriage equality to state-level non-discrimination laws, with today’s unprecedented wave of legislation and vitriolic rhetoric targeting transgender people and the broader LGBTQ+ community. As Portland prepares to celebrate its Pride Parade, we’ll ask: what’s driving this backlash, what does it mean, and how should humanists respond? HGP member Anand Atre will moderate the open discussion.
What is Humanism?
Humanism is a way of life that guides us to be well and to do good without relying on anything supernatural. It's a progressive philosophy that embraces reason, compassion, and the pursuit of knowledge.
We welcome atheists, agnostics, truth-seekers, and anyone interested in exploring ethical living, critical thinking, and community building based on humanist principles.
Science & Reason
We value evidence-based thinking and scientific inquiry as paths to understanding our world.
Community
Building meaningful connections and supporting one another in our shared human experience.
Compassion
Promoting ethics, social justice, and care for all people through humanist values.
