The Alaska Rainbow Elders hosted a memorial service on Sunday to remember and celebrate the people who laid the foundation for Alaska’s LGBTQ+ community.
The annual event, held this year at the Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery, remembers and honors members of the community who have passed on and aren’t able to celebrate Pride month themselves.
People at the event say it was truly heartfelt and touching as many stories were shared of past LGBTQ+ leaders and advocates. Although LGBTQ+ individuals have protections now, it hasn’t always been that way. Some of those being remembered were a big part in establishing those rights in Alaska. Many who came to the ceremony have lost people close to them and this memorial is a way of keeping their loved one’s memory alive.
