 So we're here tonight at the Colerone Community Center for the first ever Pikeville Pride Prom. So last year was the first Pikeville Pride celebration in the Pikeville City Park. So this year, in addition to that festival coming up in October, we've added this prom on. So it's just a place, like I said, for all of us, all the LGBTQ plus community to come and gather and celebrate, just being who we are and just being a community. I mean, I graduated high school 30 years ago and I went to my prom 30 years ago with a guy when I had a girlfriend because that wasn't okay and, you know, this is just the right time, the right place for you can come and be who you are with your partner and not have to worry about it. I think that what we have organized today, I think, is a wonderful, wonderful event, so all the silent auction is going to charity to fund the next Pride. We are actively bettering ourselves as a community. We are getting stronger. We are getting better every single step along the way. We have space resistance. We've got protesters out in the front, but we never let them bring us down and I think we're overcoming a lot. It means so much to have an event like this because up until now, there has been nothing for the LGBTQ plus community, a place for them to gather and feel safe and just have a good time. So, you know, the organizations like Pikeville Pride and Big Sandy Safe Zone, Kentucky is for the commonwealth and all those organizations that are working together to put events on like this, you know, hats really off to them because it just gives all of us a safe place and just a place to be ourselves with each other. So Pride to me just means living your authentic life and being your true self, you know, not caring what people think about you and just opening it up and being honest. To me, Pride is an event where everyone can be anyone that they want to be. It's a good, wonderful event of self-expression, love, tenderness. It's embracing who you are when the rest of the world doesn't want to embrace you. Never be afraid to be who you are. A lot of people are going to downcast you for who you love, what you like, how you feel.
