LGBTQ+ and Friends at Chautauqua

LGBTQ+ and Friends Mission Statement

Our mission is to expand diversity within the Chautauqua Institution community by creating a sense of welcome, belonging and shared community for LGBTQ+ people and by educating family, friends, allies, teachers, pastors and others, through dialogue, about the LGBTQ+ community and their experience. We place a very high value on not just tolerating, but welcoming diversity, understanding that the diversity of the human experience enriches all of us and expands each of us.
