Resources for Equity

Resources for Anti-Racism, Anti-Xenophobia, and Anti-Hate

The Board of NYC Gaymers strongly believes the Y in Gaymers means "You Belong" and our belief in that message applies everywhere, for everyone.

We love and support our community members and celebrate the various other communities they are a part of.

We remind our community members that they are also allies to their fellow community members and that anti-hate is a continual effort. Keep learning, keep self-examining, keep supporting equity & restorative justice, and - most importantly - when you see hate of any form (be it overt or a microaggression): stand up against it.

We’ve compiled a list below to act as a starting point for the NYC Gaymers Community. What we have listed below should by no means be the end of your work and we encourage our community to do their own research also (use the term you’ve learned to do informed and effective Google searches).

Note: This is a new initiative and growing list and not meant to be exclusive by any means. If you have resources you’d like to share with the NYC Gaymers community, please email youbelong@gaymers.nyc
