Someone to talk to
A listening ear and a conversation with someone who accepts you as you are.
Our mission
Family should never be conditional.
We help LGBTQ+ people who have lost the love and support of family connect with people ready to stand beside them.
Color in motion. Community at heart.
Being there makes a difference.
A wedding may bring someone here. So might a hard day, a birthday, or the wish for someone to talk to. Connection can begin with something small.
Someone to show up
People who want to be there for life events and the everyday moments in between.
Room to belong
A community where LGBTQ+ people and allies can get to know each other and build chosen family.
Meet our founder
Daniel Blevins
In 2021, Daniel made an offer: if your parents couldn't or wouldn't come to your wedding, he would.
He shared it on TikTok. People responded, and Stand In Pride began.
What started with weddings has grown into a community where LGBTQ+ people can find support and chosen family. Stand In Pride became a nonprofit in 2024.
“We’re not strangers. We’re family that just hasn’t met yet.”
The people behind it
A community with people at its heart.
Daniel’s first offer in 2021 brought people together. Stand In Pride became a nonprofit in 2024. Today, the board helps carry that work forward.
Help keep this community free.
Your donation helps LGBTQ+ people find support and chosen family. You can also support Stand In Pride through the store.
