The story: Over 650 people gathered at Hastings Pride on June 3, 2023, and 500 of them marched a 2-mile route down the main drag of town.
The featured speaker was Machaela Cavanaugh, the Nebraska senator who had recently completed the longest filibuster in U.S. history to stop a bill restricting gender-affirming care for trans youth. She inspired the crowd with a message of hope and love and received three standing ovations.
The energy for the day was incredible — despite occasional rain. There were many families with children in the crowd, of all sexual orientations. Even a downpour in the last half-hour of the day didn’t dampen spirits, and only resulted in the young people dancing in the rain.
