To Me, the LGBTQ+ Community Means Family

“To me, Pride as a concept is a shared experience among the queer community in which we have space to be happy and confident. It’s about being proud of who you are and what makes you, you. Pride is a celebration of culture, inclusivity and remembrance. It’s meant to be a safe space for everyone, regardless of identification. Pride feels like a big hug.

Take pride in our ability to have pride.” Read more at Richmond Pulse.
