WE’RE HERE, TOGETHER
Dear family,
We’re here. Together. Finally.
There are no words to describe what we’ve all been through over the past few
years. Seeing your faces, hearing your voices, reveling in your smiles – these
are the moments I’ve been dreaming about since early 2020 when we began
our long period of isolation. We’ve done what we had to do to face challenges
associated with Covid-19 and we’re still fighting the same fights to protect and
expand our rights at seemingly every level of government. Despite the hardships,
we’re here. We’ve lost many beloved members of our community since we last
gathered for Pride, but our community remains intact and our message remains
the same: We’re here, together.
Cultivating a community organization that reflects the community itself has
always been an intentional goal; we are who we serve. I feel this fully as I
continue marveling at The LGBT Community Center’s team of dedicated staff,
volunteers, community partners, and board members. Together, we have
proven ourselves and boldly demonstrate our capability to rise in the face of
unimaginable challenges.
Together, we faced those challenges on how to care for Center guests, LGBTQ
community members, and each other with grace and success. We also gained a
newfound understanding of our role in the community, beginning with building
collaborative supports and partnerships across the LGBTQ+ serving organiza-
tions and groups because together we rise not only to benefit the Center, but in
coalition with other organizations who have dedicated themselves to establish-
ing a safer, accepting, and just environment.
In 2022, I am proud to celebrate ten years of leadership at the Center with
clarity of focus in service of our mission to “enrich the lives of LGBTQ+ people
through support, advocacy, education, and celebration.” When I began with the
Center in 2012, it was brimming with excitement about the opportunity to rise
to street level. Visibility means a great deal to our community whose struggles
and obstacles are often erased and disregarded. This new wave of visibility
allows us to continue our commitment to serve the community. After almost a
decade of learning and growing through humility and well-earned successes, we
expanded on the goal by establishing our Center as an anchor organization in
our neighborhood.
This Pride, I’ll be reflecting on where we’ve been and where we’re headed. I’m
focusing on my joy, my anger, and my deep appreciation for each and every one
of you. As you enjoy the day, I invite you to do the same.
Sincerely yours,
Phyllis Seven Harris
LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland executive director

PRIDE IN THE CLE 2022
Dear friends,
There were times when I wasn’t sure this day would come. When we left Public
Square after such a perfect day in 2019, we were full of ideas and energy for the
biggest Pride in the CLE ever in 2020. We had our new venue picked out, we
were in talks with amazing musicians and entertainers, and we had some other
great surprises in store. Unfortunately, our plans changed when Covid-19 took
over our lives.
My team at The Fairmount Group, the team at the LGBT Center, and our Pride in
the CLE Steering Committee talked about our Pride in the CLE community every
single day. We worried about our small business vendors and individual artisans
that might not survive periods of lockdown. We worried about entertainers and
performers who missed opportunities to earn an income when bars and concert
venues were closed. We worried endlessly about the folks who come to Pride to
enjoy a sense of community and find safety. Those worries turned into conversa-
tions about how to reach folks we care about, which have led to some important
changes in this year’s event.
We’ve always considered inclusion to be one of our priorities at Pride in the
CLE, but this year we’ve done even more to help a wider audience participate
in and enjoy our event. From the layout to the flow the event, we’ve considered
the needs of differently abled community members at every point. This year,
we’re proud to offer a sensory-limited space inside the Hilton that will be hosted
in partnership with Spectrum Saturdays, a community group for people on
the autism spectrum with LGBTQ identities. This space will be temperature-
controlled, quiet, and relaxing and it is open to anyone who needs a place to
decompress and recharge. This is just one example of the many new things you’ll
see as you browse around this year.
Around the festival, you’ll find more than 140 community groups, and we
encourage you to take some time to browse, shop and learn about our amazing
partner organizations. Get your face painted, buy a Pride in the CLE t-shirt, and
snap a selfie with one of our gorgeous drag queens (don’t forget to tip them!).
Enjoy some beer or wine while you catch a band or two on the main stage, then
make your way over to Mall B to shoot some hoops, join a kickball tournament,
and connect with some healthcare providers at the MetroHealth Pride Network
Wellness Village before you head out to the after party.
We are honored to present this year’s Pride in the CLE.
In solidarity,

    At Dominion Energy Ohio, going the distance for our customers
    means more than just delivering safe, affordable natural gas. It means
    being a positive force in the communities we serve. Our EnergyShare®
    program has raised $8 million and helped more than 89,500 people in
    Ohio alone. These resources, combined with more than 3,000 volunteer
    hours from our employees, have benefited organizations as diverse as
    the American Red Cross, the Greater Cleveland Urban League, the Ohio
    & Erie Canalway Coalition and The Salvation Army.
