franklin lgbtq alliance

Celebrating gender and sexual diversity in Franklin, Massachusetts, since 2022.

ABOUT US

Franklin LGBTQ Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that was established in 2022 to support, raise awareness of, and build connections within, the greater Franklin LGBTQIA+ community. We celebrate gender and sexual diversity in Franklin all year round by regularly organizing book club discussions, game nights, arts-and-crafts workshops, and much more. Every June, we also organize a pride celebration in Franklin Town Common that features food, live music, family activities, and outreach opportunities for local businesses and nonprofits. Membership is always free, and all of our events are always open to the public. We invite you to join us at one of our upcoming events listed below!
