Happy Pride Month 2024

It is PRIDE month again and it’s time to celebrate those in the LGBTQIA community doing great things to improve our communities. It’s also a time to be mindful of the challenges they face through cruel legislation and hate. Many of my friends are in the community and all they wish to do is live free of fear. I am proud to be an ally and a safe person to confide in. I love you all good people who are showing your colors this month.
