What is the point of a pride parade?
The Seattle Pride Parade is a community-led event, focused on LGBTQIA2S+ visibility. Every year, over 300,000 people march for joy, justice, and belonging.
"This is not a time to be quiet. This is not a time to acquiesce to extracting a list of words from our vocabulary, said Seattle Pride Executive Director Patti Hearn. "It is not a time to be a bystander or to allow others to stand by while bullies — those who were elected and those who were not — try to harm us. Try to erase us. Try to silence us. We’re not going to let that happen, said Hearn. "We will stand up. We will speak up. We will get loud."
