About Grayson Pride

Grayson County Pride is an LGBTQ+ human rights and resource 501-C3 non-profit organization serving Grayson County and surrounding areas.

Founded in 2019 by parents seeking a safe space for their transgender daughter, Grayson Pride has since become the leading advocate for the local LBGTQIS2S+ community. Our focus is on supporting LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and fostering a sense of belonging for all. LBGTQIA2S+ encompasses a diverse range of sexual orientations and gender identities, including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual/Aromatic, and Two-Spirit, as well as identities like non-binary and pansexual. While our primary service area is Grayson County, we extend support throughout the broader Texoma region, working to create an environment where LGBTQIA2S+ individuals are safe, respected, celebrated, and have access to the vital resources they need to thrive. 

Our Mission

To provide resources and opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community through inclusion, respect, and celebration.
