HP: Homer Pride

BIPOC: Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. This term aims to spotlight the violence, systemic racism, and cultural erasure against Black and Indigenous peoples and how it is foundational to the United States, a country founded on the enslavement of Black people and the genocide of Indigenous people.

Ally: An ally is someone who actively supports and advocates for vulnerable populations. Allies may not personally identify with these communities, but they demonstrate solidarity, empathy, and a commitment to challenging discrimination and promoting inclusivity. Allies listen attentively, educate themselves on issues affecting marginalized groups, and use their privilege and influence to amplify voices and advocate for change. They strive to create safe and supportive environments where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered.

LGBTQ+: For the purpose of this form, we acknowledge and include individuals who identify within the LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum, encompassing sexual orientations such as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and Two-Spirit identities. HP recognizes all gender expressions and sexual orientations as independent and valid. 

It's important to recognize that while these terms encompass many experiences, they may not fully represent every individual or community.
