Pride for everyone is a sentiment that encompasses ideas of inclusivity and celebrates the diversity in society. It means regardless of gender identity, gender expression, sex, sexuality, romantic attraction, race, class, age, or abilities you are a person deserving of love and respect. Pride doesn't belong only to those who fit into societies boxes of 'norms'.
We will once again be at the Kinette Picnic Shelter on the north side of the Seven Persons Creek in Kin Coulee Park. Pride for Everyone is designed to be barrier-free event with no selling allowed. All activities are provided free of charge to ensure an inclusive experience for all.
