#AboutLastNight: @bettywho reminded #CLTPRIDE what no matter who you love or how you identify “somebody loves you.” My journey with Pride has been a long one. For a very long time I didn’t want to attend Pride because of the way it gets depicted on the news and in social media. I attended my first Pride while working on the Clinton campaign in 2016 here in Charlotte and was surprised just to see how “normal” of a street festival it was. Pride is just a space where anyone can and should feel safe be be who that want to be. Last night I was decked out in rainbows, until I got so hot from dancing that I had to take my shirts off, and danced like I hadn’t a care in the world. That is what Pride is all about.
