Caption: This was my first Pride after I had begun my transition. And it was a small, grassroots Pride sponsored by groups representing QTPOCs. This was year 1 of the pandemic (2020) and the corporate Capital Pride was not involved. It very much reminded me of my first few Pride events in the early 90s, when I was marching with ACT-UP or Queer Nation, and that it was as much a protest/demonstration as it was a celebration.
