Pride Month is a time for our community to gather, to create memories, and to celebrate who we are. To take up space and say WE ARE HERE and WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. This PRIDE month we will highlight our community of players, teams, and city leagues.
When those in power are attempting—and unfortunately succeeding—to take away incredibly important resources for our most vulnerable community members, we want you to know that you are not alone. We welcome you. We support you.
To speak up.
To speak out.
To be present.
To use your privilege to amplify our voices in spaces where we cannot.
For over twenty years, the National Gay Basketball Association (NGBA) has cultivated and nurtured a community of over 1,000 LGBTQ+ athletes and allies, providing a secure space for athletes to show up as their full selves while playing a game they love. As a result, we’ve built a family that reaches across the globe and shows up in unfortunate times of tragedy and in triumphant times of celebration.
As we continue to grow, improve, and introduce new athletes to our family, we look to our community for support. At this moment in history when everything seems to be turning backwards, we want to be a light leading in the right direction.
Do you remember your introduction to the NGBA family? Do you remember when your new family was there to support you when you needed it?
