Napanee, Ont., holds first ever pride parade
It was a day to remember. On Sunday the first time ever Pride parade was held in Greater Napanee.
Organizers say they hope it will help open the eyes of the local queer community to show that they’re safe and accepted.“For too long people in Napanee are under the impression that there’s not a queer community in Napanee and that’s just wrong. Statistically, that’s incorrect. There’s always going to be queer people,” said Nina Irvine, a co-organizer of the event.
“I think it’s just a great thing to let people know that it’s here and it’s okay and everybody wants to be loved,” she said.Hundreds of people were in attendance, many of whom were dressed to the nines in pride apparel.
