Erie hosting myriad of events to celebrate Pride Month
June is Pride Month — a whole month dedicated to the celebration of LGBTQ+ pride.
Pride Month is when the whole community comes together to network and get in touch with resources, and celebrate who they are.

This means every Pride rally they hold, there are people of all faith groups showing up.

'So I think it's just as it is important for other people to realize we are more varied than people are aware. It is also important for people in our community to realize that there are more supportive people out there, and you can't really assume that somebody is not supportive by virtue of some other aspect of their identity,' said Malher.
