The Pride Alliance of the NYS Courts

The Pride Alliance of the NYS Courts


The Pride Alliance of the New York State Unified Court System invites you to join!


The Pride Alliance of the New York State
Courts fosters a supportive and Inclusive environment for LGBTQIA+ court employees and allies.

Originally formed as the Gay/Straight Alliance in the early 2000s, the group was revitalized in 2018 to provide a space for connection, advocacy, and education within the court system.

Through events like Pride celebrations, Transgender Day of Remembrance, and legal resource symposiums, the Alliance promotes awareness and policy change.

Open to all court employees, the group continues to grow, ensuring a welcoming and equitable workplace for all.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to protecting the rights of, and standing with, those who encounter discrimination based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Our goal is to make the Court System a more welcoming place for All, especially for LGBTQIA+ individuals, both employees and visitors. To that end, we support and present programs and gatherings which promote and celebrate LGBTQIA+ culture, identity, and civil rights.
