CELEBRATE LGBTQ+ HISTORY MONTH WITH THE MYSTICS
The Washington Mystics are celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month in October, highlighting LGBTQ+ history through activations and highlighting local resources. We are devoted to supporting the members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community year round, celebrating the diverse Mystics family.
We continuously strive to empower and give a voice to the LGBTQ+ community. Our team is proud of who we are, and we want everyone to feel the same regardless of sex, gender, or sexual orientation.
THE RAINBOW HISTORY PROJECT
This project was established with the mission to collect, preserve, and promote an active knowledge of the history, art, and culture of Washington D.C.’s diverse LGBTQ+ community.
Washington DC LGBTQ+ History Self-Guided Tours
The Rainbow History Project has developed several walking tours through neighborhoods that have played a significant role in the lived experiences of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities of Washington, D.C. Click on a walking tour below.
The Washington Mystics believe in full inclusion, dignity, and equality for all LGBTQ+ people. We’re proud to use the platform of sport to take a stand, and encourage our players, fans, and employees to also add their voices as we work towards full equality for everyone. We support all who choose to use the power of their voice for positive change in our communities both locally and nationally.
As we’ve seen through the many social justice protests of the past year, your voice does matter and can make a difference. We encourage everyone to continue to stand up for the rights of our LGBTQ+ communities – and join in amplifying the voices of the marginalized so we’re all seen, heard, and valued.
Please enjoy this video from Elena Delle Donne and Natasha Cloud on what Pride means to them and our Mystics family. Check back here all month long for a look at how we’re celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month.
