Peer support, not medical care
A private match with someone who understands prostate cancer, sexual health, and identity.
Pride and Prostate Cancer is a free, one-to-one peer mentor program for gay, bisexual, same-gender-loving, and other men who have sex with men, and transgender women diagnosed with prostate cancer. We help you find a mentor who respects your privacy, your body, your relationships, and your choices about disclosure.

Who this program serves
Gay, bisexual, same-gender-loving, queer, and other men who have sex with men diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Transgender women diagnosed with prostate cancer.
You do not need to be out to family, employers, partners, or your care team to use this program.
We respect the words you use for your body, gender, sexuality, partners, and relationships.
This program is not a forum, social network, or public community. We focus on private, one-to-one introductions with peer mentors who share relevant prostate cancer experience.
Privacy and disclosure control
Your first message stays anonymous. You choose what to share. Contact details unlock only after the mentor accepts your introduction.
Respect for ourselves and each other
Everyone is asked to respect names, pronouns, privacy, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, relationship status, and disclosure choices.
Safety first
Report a concern at any time. Mentors who receive a concern are paused for review.
This is peer support, not emergency care.
