Each person has something unique to share, which is the theme of this year’s Boston Pride parade, a happy and Gay festival on Saturday, June 14. Pride parades are held throughout the U.S. during the month of June every year. What does this mean for those marching and for those watching along the parade route? The organizers describe the significance of their theme as Boston anticipates the event coming just on the coattails of the 10th anniversary of same-sex marriage in the U.S., which got its start in Massachusetts.
The theme for the event – and, in fact, the entire week, is “Be Yourself, Change the World.” The LGBT community is encouraged to embrace what is unique about each individual. In doing so, the idea is that those qualities of individuality can, and should, be used to change the world for the better.
