Daily News | ‘I can be me’: Philly’s Gay Pride March marks 50 years
“All of the stuff that has to do with trans children, and trans-affirming care, to me, it’s just very clear this is not about protecting children,” said Rachele Fortier, an organizer with Philly Dyke March, which co-produced Sunday’s march with the volunteer-run PHL Pride Collective. “It’s about trying to erase trans people, and trying to force children into being people that they’re not.
As Sunday’s march wound along Arch Street toward Eighth Street, Inez Brown, 55, of North Philadelphia, acknowledged the gravity of the current climate. “If people don’t wake up,” Brown said, “they will lose [their rights].” A handful of demonstrators on Sunday hoisted “Homos Go to Hell!” signs on Arch Street, but were met by throngs of marchers whose voices swelled as they chanted, “We are proud!”
The new march was meant to focus more on marginalized members of the community, and acknowledge pioneers, such as Gloria Casarez, the city’s first director of LGBTQ affairs, and a founding member of Philly Dyke March.
