LGBTQ+ Ritual Practices

LGBTQ+ ritual practices are ceremonies or customs that celebrate, affirm, and honor diverse gender identities, sexual orientations, and community bonds. These can include rites of passage like coming-out ceremonies, pride events, or spiritual rites that mark milestones or foster unity. Such practices help individuals connect with their identity, build community support, and promote acceptance. They vary widely across cultures and traditions but commonly serve to validate experiences, express pride, and foster resilience within LGBTQ+ communities.
