Shortly after taking office, President Biden reaffirmed the United States' commitment to supporting LGBTQI+ persons in their ongoing struggle against discrimination and injustice.

In commemoration of Pride Month 2022, the U.S. Embassy in Nassau joins the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas in hosting a film screening series, open to the general public. On Friday, June 24, we will screen our third and final film in the series: the Bahamian feature film, Children of God.

The film explores the story of two young Bahamian men who fall in love, and examines the challenges of being gay in The Bahamas. The director, Kareem Mortimer, will join us for the screening, and we look forward to watching and discussing the film with you!

We work toward a world where everyone has the safety and acceptance to live openly if they choose. LGBTQI+ persons share the same dreams and ambitions as everyone, and deserve to live in a society that values them as they are.

Happy Pride!
