Holiday Message 2025

The holidays can come wrapped in images of joy, celebration and glittering expectations. But for some, this time of year may feel heavy, daunting and overwhelming from navigating grief, loss, physical or emotional pain, loneliness or just not feeling festive at all. And that’s okay. There is no single way to experience the holidays, and there is no obligation to feel cheerful or whole.

At this time of year, we want you to know that we hold space for you. We encourage you to take stock of yourselves and look out for each other, not only for this holiday season, but always. We hope that you are able to find moments of gentleness, connection, and care, even in small ways.

As we close out 2025 and open the curtains of 2026, we thank you for your continued support of our mission to create safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ people. We look forward to connecting and sharing more with you in this coming year.

Happy holidays from us at SLF!
