“It’s arts and culture that maintains a space for people to feel grounded — and seen, and heard, and appreciated. Yes, pride is a celebration, but it is also a riot. It’s a protest because the personal is political, and this is as much a protest, as it is about the joy of sharing community and music with one another, because we will not be silenced, and we’re not going anywhere. We’re here, we’re Queer, we’re marching everywhere.”
