“i was afraid of this parade because I wanted so badly to be a part of it. so today, i’m marching for that part of me that was once afraid to march and for all the people who can’t march-the people who are living lives like I did. today, i march to remember that i’m not just a me but i’m also a we. and we march with pride.”
