Special thanks to our A/V Coordinator Danny Heck and the entire PRIDE Celebration steering committee, all of our speakers, performers, and musicians for lending their time, talents, and stories to this beautiful celebration.
As Danny said during the service, "To the allies in the room, I have a suggestion: understand your privilege -- it informs your every move. Allyship is not an achievement. It's a lifelong endeavor towards battling oppression. And it's a growing process that takes a lifetime to cultivate. For the queers in the room: let's reclaim the life and liberty that has always rightfully been ours, and finally be free to pursue our happiness together."
