Great Lakes Bay Pride has established the following Community Code of Conduct to create safe, welcoming, and affirming spaces for the LGBTQ2S+ and ally community across our programs, services, activities, and events. Each participant/visitor/attendee/guest/etc. is expected to abide by this policy at all Great Lakes Bay Pride functions. Participation in any Great Lakes Bay Pride function is voluntary and shall constitute notice and acceptance of this policy.

Safety
Discrimination and/or violence in any capacity will not be tolerated. This includes but is not limited to physical, mental, emotional, sexual, and/or spiritual. If you see something, say something!

Confidentiality
What you see here, who you see here, what is shared here, when you leave here, let it stay here! Please respect everyone’s right to confidentiality.

Healthy Boundaries
We encourage all participants of Great Lakes Bay Pride functions to establish appropriate boundaries. Unwanted advancements, whether of a sexual nature or not, will not be tolerated.

Respect
Respect different points of view. Challenge stereotypes and check your bias/assumptions. It is okay to disagree without attacking, judging, or discounting someone's experience. There is enough room for all ideas and points of view.

Active Listening
Encourage full participation. If you tend to speak a lot, step back. If you tend to sit back and listen, speak up! Listen to hear and not to respond.

Self-Care
Most importantly, please take care of yourself in whatever form that may take (take breaks, stretch, get a snack/drink, step away).
