Gay hunting clubs near me

And late in life, I became a hunter. Each of those groups are on a different journey when it comes to diversity and inclusion. I think the hunting community perhaps has the furthest to travel but I see glimmers of hope. I will confess, the first turkey hunt workshop I went on, I felt like a complete outsider. There were all of these older, white men standing around in camo — only talking with each other.

As a reminder, camo has some scary connotations for the queer community. Before dinner, one man delivered a fairly conservative prayer that felt very exclusionary. But by the end of the weekend, I had a great time. As everyone knows, the number of people who identify as hunters is in serious decline.

I like to think that it would also make those traditions more meaningful. One of the reasons that I love Artemis is that it is a very inclusive and affirming community. Artemis represents a very diverse group of women who want to learn from each other and support each other.

Artemis ambassadors come from all backgrounds and varying levels of hunting experience. But each person is equally valued — whether White, Black, Latino, gay, or straight. People often ask me, what are some ways that straight people can be true allies to the LGBTQ community? The first thing I would say is accept and include us.

Accept us. Include us. Invite us along on your hunts. Invite us out for a beer. You can also do small things like put a rainbow sticker on your water bottle or wear a Pride hat. Share tweet share email print. Recent Blog Posts.
