SOFLX Pride has always been about more than events it’s about building a home for queer joy, care, and belonging in the Southern Finger Lakes. This year, we entered a rebirth, a year of returning to our roots, deepening our connections, and remembering that community is not something we just find, it’s something we make together.

At CAMP FRUIT FLY, GATLAS, QUEER AND TRANS SUPPORT GROUPS, QUEER CLUB, FESTIVAL, AND LOCAL COLLABS, we created transformative spaces where LGBTQIA+ youth and adults could play, rest, explore their identities, and build chosen families. With every creek walk, queer elders campfire, shared meals, and nights out, we were reminded how much we need each other.

These spaces are made possible through collaboration. Local artists, educators, volunteers, healers, and organizations co-create, share, and support the magic of our community. Together, we make space for everyone to feel seen, held, and celebrated.

And in the words of our Mother Miss Major:
“We’re still f@k!ng here.”*

We are. Still building. Still joyful. Still growing. Still committed to making sure every LGBTQIA+ person in our region has a place to belong.

Your support helps us sustain these spaces, expand our reach, and continue this work. When you give, you give hope, hope that queer youth will have mentors, that chosen families will have places to gather, that queer joy will keep thriving, and that SOFLX Pride will keep showing up for our community, year after year.

We’re still here.
We’re still queer.
We’re still building.

We Are SOFLX.

Thank you for continuing to give us hope.

Still Here. Still Us. Still Building
