This year’s Pride Week theme is “Be Yourself, Change the World” & encourages our LGBT community to embrace what makes each individual unique & to use those qualities to change the world for the better. The ceremony will also recognize the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall Inn uprising in NYC. One of the speakers will be Erica Kay Webster who participated in the Stonewall Inn uprising in New York City 1969.
