PRIDE Celebrations in Maine
MUUSAN encourages all Unitarian Universalists and friends to participate in a PRIDE celebration if possible. What a wonderful way to witness to our UU Principles in public!!
The image of us joyfully Standing on the Side of Love is sent out all over Maine and beyond via news media and the internet, including into the most rural regions where isolated LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and allied) youth and adults may see us and find hope. We also broadcast UUism's inclusive love and invite newcomers to check out our UU congregations.

LGBT Prayer for Pride
Offered by ChIME (Chaplaincy Institute of Maine)
May you be thankful for being the wonderful creation that you are.
May you be proud to be the person you have been, are now, and who you are becoming.
May you be the best person you can be.
May you be good to those less fortunate than you.
May you know that you represent a greater truth and that by being strong and being the person you are the world is a better place.
May you know that the Creator-of-Us-All loves you more than you can ever imagine.
May you be at peace, always.

MUUSAN invites you to join us every year for PRIDE Portland!
Each year MUUSAN pays the registration fee for the PRIDE Portland! Parade (which usually attracts 20,000 marchers and watchers) and invites all Maine UU congregations to bring your congregational banner and march together as a group. In 2016 over 100 Maine UUs marched from over ten congregations. It was an amazing and beautiful sight.
