What makes this photo special to you?
This was the last pride that took place prior to the pandemic. “A Million Moments of Pride” was the name of the event, and it was a spectacular, freeing place where I felt alive and able to be myself. The unbelievable part is that four months later we would be in a war against race, hate, discrimination, intolerance, racism, and bigotry and go through the worst year of our lives with Covid. Life is precious. Don’t take it for granted.
