Rainbow Pooch Pride

Bringing the LGBTQIA+ community together through the love of dogs.
 

Often for a person identifying as LGBTQIA+ having a dog goes far beyond just pet ownership.

For some they may have been the first living being that an LGBTQIA+ individual ‘came out’ to, or they may form an integral part of an ‘alternate’ family, or they may have simply provided great comfort by offering unconditional love, acceptance and a non-judgmental ear in times of struggle. Without a doubt for LGBTQIA+ lives the constant and devoted presence of a dog eases moments of isolation by bringing much comfort, laughter and love.

We still live in a world fraught with homophobic tensions. The presence of social prejudices against sexual orientation and gender orientation mean that an LGBTQIA+ individual is three times more likely to experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. Often these canine friends of ours can be found in the background providing their silent support in times of need.

Rainbow Pooch Pride is dedicated to celebrating dogs as the silent support service for LGBTQIA+ lives.

Dod â’r gymuned LGBTQIA+ ynghyd trwy gariad at gŵn.
 

Yn aml i berson sy’n nodi ei fod yn LGBTQIA+ mae cael ci yn mynd ymhell y tu hwnt i berchnogaeth anifeiliaid anwes yn unig.

I rai efallai mai nhw oedd y bywoliaeth gyntaf i unigolyn LGBTQIA+ ‘ddod allan’ iddo, neu fe allant fod yn rhan annatod o deulu ‘eilaidd’, neu efallai eu bod wedi rhoi cysur mawr drwy gynnig cariad diamod, derbyniad a clust anfeirniadol ar adegau o ymrafael. Heb amheuaeth i fywydau LGBTQIA+ mae presenoldeb cyson ac ymroddgar ci yn lleddfu eiliadau o unigedd trwy ddod â llawer o gysur, chwerthin a chariad.

Rydyn ni’n dal i fyw mewn byd sy’n llawn tensiynau homoffobig. Mae presenoldeb rhagfarnau cymdeithasol yn erbyn cyfeiriadedd rhywiol a chyfeiriadedd rhywedd yn golygu bod unigolyn LGBTQIA+ deirgwaith yn fwy tebygol o brofi cyflwr iechyd meddwl yn ei oes. Yn aml, gellir dod o hyd i’r ffrindiau cŵn hyn i ni yn y cefndir yn darparu eu cefnogaeth dawel ar adegau o angen.

Mae Rainbow Pooch Pride yn ymroddedig i ddathlu cŵn fel y gwasanaeth cymorth tawel ar gyfer bywydau LGBTQIA+.
