As enjoyable as Pride Month events are, we at Brown Harris Stevens believe in celebrating and advocating for LGBTQIA+ people year-round.

We also believe everyone deserves equal protection under the law, regardless of who they love. For this reason, we are a member of the Human Rights Campaign’s Business Coalition for the Equality Act, a group of 300+ leading U.S. employers supporting bipartisan legislation to provide the same protections to LGBTQIA+ people as are provided to other protected groups under federal law.

At BHS, we are proud to showcase LGBTQIA+ representation throughout our company, including members of our firm's leadership, as well as agents and staff. With Pride Month underway and NYC Pride taking place this coming weekend, we asked several of our employees what "Pride" means to them.

From personal anecdotes and reflections to insights on queer identity and allyship, their responses illustrate the beauty of equality and creating a safe space for individuals to live and express their truths. Watch the video in full above.
