About Pride Alliance
Pride Alliance is a LGBTQA+ student-led organization open to all LGBTQIA+ students, allies, and advocates!
Pride Alliance, first established in 1971 as the Committee on Gay Education (CGE), came into being in order to meet the needs of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender students. After a temporary hiatus of LGBTQIA+ student groups after CGE disbanded in 1983, Athens Gay and Lesbian Association (AGLA) formed to meet community needs within 1990; AGLA later became the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Student Union in 1992. Lambda Alliance officially came into being as an official student organization in 1998 and within 2005 was renamed Lambda Alliance: UGA’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Asexual Student Organization. In 2021, it was renamed the Pride Alliance.
