INDIANA PRIDE
Indiana Pride is a social media page representing the queer community of Indiana and the lives of its members.
Our goal is to create awareness of the non-heterosexual community and to create a new social norm. That social norm being how vast the queer community is in Indiana and how it's queer members create our everyday society.

Meet the Authors of Indiana Pride

Hope Kelham (she/her)
I am an undergraduate student at Purdue University pursuing three majors: a BA in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, a BA in Photography & Related Media, and a BA in Creative Writing. This project means so much to me because I believe it is crucial to normalize the LGBTQ+ community in media. Representation and intersectionality in visual forms can be some of the most impactful mediums of change.

Drew Dienhart (he/him)
I am a graduate from Purdue University's interior design program and currently work as a healthcare and higher education interior designer in Indianapolis, Indiana. Interested in a human-centered design attitude that all people deserve beauty, I desire to design with empathy in the environments we work, heal, and call "home". It is important to me to understand the people you design for before providing a solution to serve them. I am really excited to continue this blog with Hope. It has been an eye-opening experience and truly humbling getting to know the real viewpoints and experiences of the queer community in Indiana.
