“Love at its core is an action; And more specifically, it is shown through sacrifice. I am grateful to be a part of a club that demonstrates this type of love by doing its best to reach out and invite the people of New Mexico, and by creating a safe place for ALL of them, so that they may be a part of the team.”

“Pride for me is a direct action to look inward and be totally happy with who you are. Regardless of sexual orientation, religion, race, having pride allows us to have a deeper connection to our spirit. I hope we as a club can represent unity and a collective mission to bring joy to one another. Peace and Love.”

“Love is the foundation that provides meaning to our existence. To deny someone’s right to love is to the deny their right to a fulfilling life. United, we stand for equality, we stand for acceptance, we stand for love.”

However, to truly make change in our community, we must unite behind a common cause: The prosperity for all people of New Mexico. This is done through love and understanding of one another. There is no room for hate, discrimination, or violence. We must come together and strive for a better tomorrow.”
