“Pride is education and awareness. Pride is being brave enough to let the world see you for who you really are. Pride is unconditional love, for yourself and for others.”

“Our community fought for a very long time for the right to marry the person that they love. So, for me, Pride is another way I celebrate the fact that I get to spend every day of my life with my wife.”

“Suddenly, I surprised myself with the most sincere and original coming out statement I’ve ever experienced before, I stood out proudly as the most colourful toucan wearing pride in my beak, it was natural, it was real.”
