LGBTIQ+ Organizations

Pride CK reflects a need we see in the local Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Transsexual, Two-Spirited community as well as the larger community. People need to know there is a place they can go to find resources and feel part of a safe community. It’s also important for the larger community to know there is a significant LGBTT2 presence in Chatham-Kent who are active and important members of the community.
