Pride Month in Jewish Baltimore
Pride Month is a time to celebrate identity, connection, and belonging. This page brings together Jewish LGBTQ+ resources, inclusive organizations, and local community events happening throughout Pride Month. If you’re interested in learning opportunities, social connection or an affirming community we hope these resources help you feel supported and seen.
At The Jewish Connection Network, we know that Jewish journeys look different for everyone, and we’re committed to helping people find spaces where they can show up fully as themselves.
If you’d feel more comfortable connecting one-on-one with an LGBTQ+ Connector or meeting with a member of our team to learn about affirming community spaces, we’re happy to help make those connections.
