### Why We Gather
At Equality Prince William, we continue to create spaces where LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies can feel safe, seen, and supported. In these challenging times, we reaffirm our commitment to:
- Providing a safe space for LGBTQIA+ folks and allies in the Greater Prince William County and Manassas area to simply be themselves.
- Being visible in the community — showing up, hosting events, and standing together so no one feels alone.
- Educating and advocating — dispelling misinformation and supporting local and national efforts to protect LGBTQIA+ rights and lives.
