Pride Workshop - Celebrating Our History - Affirming Our Lives -E mpowering Our Future: June 14, 2023

"Just wanted to say another massive thank you to Kevin Bray for putting this together. The amount of work that went in to this is immeasurable. So much important information was shared last night. It is so important to educate ourselves. The more knowledge you have the more powerful you become. When we all share the heartfelt stories and tragic events that have happened and understand how and where it all began is how we get others to understand that love is love and that this community is absolutely full of love and understanding compassion and empathy. The history of our amazing community and the lives lived and lost can never be erased, forgotten or silenced ." ~Leah Sheridan - Chair of Georgina Pride
