So why do we march?

  • Protest against discrimination (from within and without)
  • Show that we exist, we have the right to exist, and

there’s nothing wrong with us

  • Show others (here and elsewhere in the world) who are

struggling with their identity that it can get better

  • Get allies (like you!) that want to help us create a more

welcoming world for everyone
