More than 300 events are happening during Pride Month in Philadelphia.
"Unique, one of a kind, no better place, or city, or state to have a flag like this," said Jen Nagle, executive vice president of Philadelphia Visitor Center Corporation."It's also really how we see our community. It's big, it's vibrant," said Tyrell Brown, the executive director of the nonprofit organization Galaei.Less than a mile away from the large pride flag was the raising of another flag that's smaller, but no less significant, at City Hall.
She advocated for equal rights for trans athletes during the flag-raising ceremony on the steps of City Hall. The event stressed the importance of a variety of topics, including anti-trans legislation.The air of urgency to defend LGBTQIA+ rights is partly spurred on by the fact that this year's pride march is hosted by Galeai, which focuses on that community's most marginalized members.
The issue of legislation across the country targeting drag performers is also something that activists spoke out against at Friday's flag-raising.
