Two events were held Sunday to honor the LGBTQ+ community and protest recent legislation, which eventgoers say is anti-trans.
Chants rang out near the Acosta Bridge as dozens gathered for the Acosta Bridge Pride March. It’s the third year the event was held.
The events were about showing each other and the broader community that voices from minority groups need to be heard and that it’s important to make everyone feel like they have a place to be welcomed. Amy Glassman, an organizer of the event said it was also about making sure they honored pride month and the people who came before them to make a month like June so meaningful.
The event also honored the 49 lives lost at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, where Monday marks seven years since the mass shooting.“To me, that’s one of the most significant mass shootings in FL. And a hate crime. And especially right now with the LGBTQ+ community being under attack, even though we planned this a year ago. It felt like we were right on time,” Dianne Larson said.
