Spring is a time of growth, renewal, and new beginnings—and just like the world around us is waking up, so is our LGBTQ+ community in Northern Virginia. Recently, Equality Loudoun, Dulles Triangles, PFLAG Loudoun, and Cheerful Spaces, LLC came together to plant the seeds for a broader, more connected network. We’re just getting started, but the goal is clear: a stronger, more inclusive LGBTQ+ community where everyone feels at home.
But growth isn’t just about community—it’s about personal well-being too. March is Bisexual Health Awareness Month, a reminder that bi+ individuals often face unique health disparities and need access to affirming resources. This month, we encourage everyone—whether bi, pan, queer, or an ally—to check in on their mental and physical well-being and support inclusive healthcare for all. (Check out our Featured Articles for more on this!)
And speaking of change—next Saturday, we spring forward for Daylight Savings Time! As the days grow longer, it’s the perfect reminder that what we plant today—friendships, connections, and community efforts—will grow into something brighter.
🌱 Ways to Plant Seeds This Week:
Test your knowledge at Trivia Night with Dan & Dave (March 4)! A fun, friendly way to connect with your DTs family.
Join us for dinner at Euro Bistro (March 6). Great food, great people, and a perfect chance to make new connections!

With love and possibility,
The Dulles Triangles Board of Directors
