Now, a year later, many if not most Pride organizers are taking a wait-and-see approach. No pandemic would keep us from telling our stories, honoring our identities and sharing joy throughout our great, big diverse community.
Socially distanced live events like flag-raisings and “Queer Car-avans.” Social justice rallies and marches for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) communities and trans folks that reminded us why we first celebrated Pride. One year ago, heading into Pride season, the question was, would coronavirus cancel everything? LGBTQ New Englanders answered that with creativity and resiliency.
