      About LGBTQ+ Pride Month

      Pride Month is commemorated each year in June to honor the 1969 protests called the Stonewall Uprising in New York City. This protest helped increase the visibility and activism of LGBTQ+ communities.

      Hear stories from our employees around allyship and a sense of belonging at Wegmans.

      Teddy T.

      Service Area Manager, 13 years of incredible service

      Tell us about a time a person at Wegmans was your ally and made you feel a true sense of belonging.

      “Wegmans has always been like a family to me, and like family, they are always there for you. When I was ready to come out to my parents, they were not receptive. One of my team members (Cindy) was so supportive, giving encouraging words and love to reassure me the world would still move on with or without people’s acceptance. During this time, I met my husband. With my parents not partaking in the wedding, Cindy took the dual role of best-women and mother figure. Time eventually passed, my relationship with my parents grew stronger than ever, and they accepted my husband as part of our family. Thank you to my Wegmans family, especially Cindy for helping shape this chapter of my life.”

      As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, why do you love working for Wegmans?

      “I absolutely love working for Wegmans. In 2020, I was planning to marry the love of my life, Eric. Due to the pandemic, we lost our wedding venue and didn’t know if a wedding would be possible. There was a lot I needed to figure out, so I turned to my Wegmans family for support. I met with our Restaurant’s General Manager, Mauricio, who was more than willing to host our wedding and reception at Next Door. The team provided an incredible, intimate setting, made the most delicious food, and offered exceptional customer service. They exemplified our Wegmans values and made me feel proud to work for a company that embraces equality in the most complete way!”

      Perishable Area Manager, 21 years of incredible service

      As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, why do you love working for Wegmans?

      “Being a reflection of the community, we serve and never forget that we make an impact on not only our employees but our customers every day. By embracing ourselves and each other in an authentic way, we will create a positive ripple in this world that will hopefully be the wave of happiness that our children ride in their future.”

      Laurel M.

      Continuous Improvement Analyst, 13 years of incredible service

      What do you want people to know/understand about the LGBTQ+ Community?

      “I want people to understand that it can take a lot of courage to be authentically yourself when you are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Inclusion is so important to the LGBTQ+ community because it allows us to know we are not just tolerated, we are accepted and valued.”

      Jason N.

      Pizza Team Leader, 1 year of incredible service

      In what ways have you seen pride embraced at Wegmans?

      “What I have seen in my short time is a company working toward building a well-defined culture of inclusivity while at the same time highlighting the cultural diversities of all groups. A recent example of this is when I was asked to be a trainer for our new diversity and inclusion program. During this class, I am proud to discuss who I am as a gay male and look forward to all the uniqueness we share.”

      Employee Advocate, 10 years of incredible service

      Tell us about a time a person at Wegmans was your ally and made you feel a true sense of belonging.

      “I have been lucky enough to work at multiple stores in our division and have met so many amazing people throughout my 10 years with Wegmans (including my wife!). Someone who really stands out as an ally is Jesse, our Wokery Team Leader at our Bel Air store. Jesse has always taken the time to foster relationships and offer support to everyone, regardless of background. The moment that sticks out to me the most is when she stood beside me while I said, ‘I do.’”
