News & Events
Pride is very uplifting, surrounded with people who are expressing their identity to the fullest.

Pride parades started as a protest. Communities came together, seeking change and equal rights. Over many years, protests and marches turned into pride parades, developing into messages of “we are here, we are PEOPLE and we deserve respect”. Now pride parades are empowering gatherings of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies as well as a safe place to express your pride for your identity.
