Heritage of Pride Mission Statement
Heritage of Pride works toward a future without discrimination where all people have equal rights under the law. We do this by producing LGBT Pride events that inspire, educate, commemorate and celebrate our diverse community.
Why Is It a “March?”
The first LGBT Pride was held on the first anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in 1970. It was an unpermitted, explicitly political protest of anti-LGBT policies and attitudes.
Our commitment at Heritage of Pride is to continue recognizing our Pride event as a March until complete and full equality has been achieved for all LGBT people.
