This Pride Month, we’re celebrating the love that the LGBTQ+ community shows the outdoors all year long. From hiking and camping to paddleboarding and kayaking, LGBTQ+ individuals are recreating outside at a higher rate than any other adult cohort.
how is the LGBTQ+ community breaking barriers?
Members of the LGBTQ+ community make up 11.3% of the outdoor participant base (19.9M) and continue to be the most active adult cohort in outdoor recreation, with total participation rates above 60%. Furthermore, people who identify as bisexual had the highest participation rate at 65.6%.
This month and every month, we celebrate that love is love everywhere – from urban parks to rugged peaks.
