Welcome to Hendricks County Pride

Hendricks County Pride is an organization of community members driven to help build and foster an environment of love, acceptance, protection, and pride for all members of this community in Hendricks County. We strive to ensure our youth feel accepted and safe within their own communities. Pride is so much more than just a celebration of the victories we've seen from icons like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. While those victories are monumental, historical, and paved the way for our community, we have a long way to go still. Pride is also about continuing their legacy, their battles, and working to push the ball even further, until we reach true equality.

1 in 6 Gen Z'ers identify openly as LGBTQ+. As Hendricks County continues to grow as rapidly as it is, the LGBTQ+ community will grow right alongside it. We have a duty to our residents, to our youth, and to ourselves to work to create a community that is welcoming to everyone, equally. 

Hendricks County Pride wants to partner with community members, leaders, and businesses to foster an environment of inclusion and acceptance. We'd like to see businesses celebrate pride right alongside us, to sponsor our events, and to work to ensure their workplace practices and environment are also places of acceptance and inclusion
