HOUSTON PRIDE
“What does Pride mean to you?”
“Pride to me as an ally is about loving my friends and making sure they know that this celebration is for them and not me. No hate or judgment, love 24/7.”
“Pride is self-expression to me. I celebrate Pride because it lets me step out of boundaries I normally wouldn’t step out of. Gay pride should be every f—king day, baby!”
“I’m here because I love who I am and I love who I will continue to become. Pride is tolerance, love, diversity, and remembering those who fought for our rights fifty years ago at Stonewall.”

“My girlfriend is pride. She’s my everything. We go through a lot as an interracial couple but pride is like a forcefield from all that sh-t, you know? No discrimination at all, just a beautiful girl by my side. It’s awesome.”
