Everytime someone brings up Pride or some Pride event, I'm a little jealous because I've never gone at any of them
Definitely go, if you ever get the chance. It’s totally worth it. The sense of community, the empowerment, the music and the dancing is so worth it. And who can forget the drag queens!
Any protesters seem so small compared to how bright we all shine on pride.
As I’m sure you can assume, you still need to be careful and observant, all are strangers, after all. Always go with people you know, and depending on how the parade is treated in your area, stay in the middle of the crowd, and a little to the front.
Even though pride has taken a more celebratory role nowadays (which isn’t really a bad thing), it’s nice to remember why it started, and the importance of continuing to go, through which we advocate for our community, not letting in fade away in dark times
