June may be over, but we're still very much who we are, and Pride for many of us never ends. Our board of directors is actively working toward events for LGBT History Month, the Pride parade, and the block party on October 8th. We hope you will join us as we stand together as a community, visible and proud. Much love Corpus Christi. #pride #lgbt #lgbthistorymonth #cctx

Today was our first ever official PRIDE event on campus at @island_university with approximately 70 people, both online and in person, in attendance for the @issg_tamucc panel on neurodiversity in the LGBTQIA+ community. In the 2 hour session, the panel discussed autism spectrum disorder, local cultural impacts on diagnosis and accessibility to community resources such as @cbwellness and the @coastalbendpridecenter. We’re very thankful to the panel members who gave their time and look forward to future collaborations with ISSG. #neurodiversity #lgbtq #pridemonth #pride
