June is typically celebrated as Pride Month, a declaration of self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and visibility for the LGBTQIA+ community.
“Pride is also a time to acknowledge the tremendous work that is still left for us to do. [Ride4Pride Marianas] presents an opportunity for more unity to our Marianas and for individuals to come together to support and love one another,” said Maratita.
“On behalf of Pride Marianas Youth, the members of our LGBTQIA+ family, and all our partners, thank you for participating!” she added. (Chevy Alipio)
