Jeff Natter, current South Whidbey Pride board member and previous President, will be the speaker at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island.

His topic: Queer rights have come under unprecedented attacks in the past year. There are over 400 bills pending in states across the country to curtail and/or eliminate queer and transgender rights. Similar actions have gained traction internationally. The hard-fought gains LGBTQ+ people have made in recent decades are eroding quickly. In this environment, love is not enough. Pride, acceptance, a welcoming embrace: these are not enough. We need to take action, individually and as a community.

Jeff Natter will outline some of the actions that we can each take to help defend ourselves and our loved ones.

Come celebrate the 2nd Annual Oak Harbor Pride Walk!

We’ll have resource tables set up at Flintstone Park, then we’ll walk side by side through downtown Oak Harbor before returning to the park for guest speakers and our favorite part, the open mic.

This is a beautiful space to celebrate inclusion, visibility, community, and connection. Come share your voice, make new friends, and show your support.

We hope you’ll join us.

All are welcome here.

Jeff Natter, South Whidbey Pride President, will be speaking at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island during their annual service devoted to Pride Month.

June is traditionally the month during which we celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.  However, it's not only a time of celebration; it's also a time of reflection.  How can we acknowledge the history of the LGBTQ+ movement and carry those lessons forward in a time of challenge to our rights and our lives?  Jeff Natter, a Whidbey Island queer activist and actor, will reflect upon his personal journey as a gay man and discuss how his experiences mirror the development of the LGBTQ+ right movement in general.
