weaving together the stories of our tribe and how we've been empowered to accept, live & share our authentic truth and power in our lives "The thread that runs through every gay / LGBT person's life is that we all have a moment in our lives that we come out to ourselves.
All of a sudden, you're true to yourself. And that's the thread of the flag. That single moment that a person claims their own truth and power." - Gilbert Baker / Co-Creator of the Pride Rainbow Flag |
