Pride Month preparations begin in Kingston, Napanee
The start of June signifies the beginning of Pride Month, a month of celebration and reflection for the LGBTQ2 community.
“It’s sort of a balance of the two. Making sure that we’re still doing advocacy, but also ensuring that we’re celebrating our successes, and celebrating being a community.” “I think there’s always work to be done, I don’t think that will ever stop. Especially if you notice the sort of stuff happening south of the border right now, you have to really keep your eye on that. Some of that stuff filters up here, and we’ve always had prejudice, we’ve always had homophobia, and we’ve always had transphobia here.”
