The Alaskans Together Foundation is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of the Anchorage Pride Parade, held at 11:30 am on Saturday, June 24, 2023. As the Foundation hosts this event for the first time, it brings together the vibrant LGBTQ+ community and their allies in a spectacular celebration of love, acceptance, and equality.

Alaskans Together for Equality Calls On Legislature To Reject Gov. Dunleavy’s Anti-LGBTQ Proposal.

Alaskans Together for Equality today denounced Gov. Dunleavy's HB 105, which targets and discriminates against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth, and urged the Alaska Legislature to reject the bill. Advocates and experts say the bill is an attack on Alaska’s LGBTQ youth and their right to safely be who they are at school. The bill is one of more than 150 bills across the country that target LGBTQ youth in education.

Anchorage, Alaska - Yesterday, Christopher Constant (District 1) and Felix Rivera (District 4) became the first openly lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) individuals to be elected to office in Alaska. The men will serve 3-year terms on the Anchorage Assembly. Former Senator Johnny Ellis served in the Alaska State Legislature for 29 years but did not reveal he was gay until he retired in November 2016.

Juneau became the second Alaskan city to pass an inclusive non‐discrimination ordinance that extends protections in employment, housing, and public accommodations based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or national origin, race, color, age, religion, sex, familial status, and disability.

It’s been a chilly January, and it looks like we will be busy fighting for LGBTQ equality in the coming weeks and months ahead. We encourage you to stay focused and engaged, and to speak up when you see something is not right – write letters to the editor, submit opinion editorials, rally, march, and most importantly contact your elected officials. The LGBTQ community along with our allies can be a powerful force locally, at the state level, and at the federal level to create change and protect fundamental human rights in our communities.
