The March for the Pride Parade

T he first march took place during the 1970’s after the civil rights movement anniversary. Throughout the years, it had a purpose and took recognition about planning to aid for support. Ever since then, support was expressed throughout the whole nation and the world. Then, all planning about the pride parade happen everywhere around the world. Many people have a chance to enjoy and be part of the pride parade. The march celebrates a community extending not only in the USA but worldly in full support to the LGBT community.

The values of the pride celebration should be celebrated and they are, support extent hand to others and family based concept to others. Everyone does gather together to show support. But also, keep in mind that everyone should spread the word about everyone being there to help you and hear you about how you go about life and how to help. Social media takes a big part in spreading awareness throughout the whole spectrum.

It is important for the foundation especially to be in the parade to express support for future global leaders. Also, let the world know that we the Youth are not afraid to speak and show our full support to whom we lend a hand to. First of all, the foundation focuses of lending full support for humanitarian causes and learn from that experience so when the time comes for us to lead other, young future global leaders we will be ready by then.

What I expected at the pride parade was everyone just for fun and showing their party side. However, that was not the case. What I didn’t expect was everyone showing uttermost support for the LGBT community, after the recent Orlando shooting took place. The parade were not scared instead of not going a lot of supporters for the LGBT community came in to show full support. Expressing that they were not alone in the fight for equality.

As opposed to seeing the parade I had the privilege to be part of the parade. If I would have seen it I would have just admired, the spectacular color the community, and how expressive their citizens give support for those that need it. However, the view would have been different. I would have not been able to dance with the crowd than just feel excited. My takes on this was just normal, seeing the pride parade.

The biggest take away I have received from the pride parade was support, the energy, smiles, struggle, and pride to stand. The founders for the LGBT paved the way for the youth to still stand to show support for the LGBT community and express our thoughts, respect, and representation for enable to speak on the international stage. As youth moves towards the international stage showing support for equal rights for the LGBT and binaural hearings to voice our worries and opinion to make a better society for our future generations.

The pride parade helped me develop as a leader by entering in a world totally different or a gateway to see how it really feels to be equal and barriers are broken. Within the unique window I was privilege to be made me feel united, supported and most importantly, support more the community I would love to be part of. Being gay myself, is significant for my future career as a future global leader. The strong bond that I had within the parade made me see the real open mind every single individual has to offer support for others in the times of turbulence, struggle and success. They will always be there for you. I am so proud to support LGBT as part of the Humanitarian Equality also connect to the SDG’s 2030 agenda.

The entity that organizes the pride parade is the (HOP) offering support for the whole community from local level to the nationwide. Above all, helping fellow LGBT peers become successful by being themselves on the long term. Especially, expressing definition and leadership for future members that will eventually help them carry their legacy. The 2016 years’ theme was Equality Needs You many incidents this year were strong and also, hit home U.S.A that LGBT community. Equality Needs You is especially, strong compared to previous themes during the pride parade.  Next years’ theme is still undetermined.

The biggest obstacle was the opinion of others. Especially, conservatives were wary about how we were representing the lions club and how they would be viewed by the public eye. However, that didn’t stop us from becoming successful. The foundation especially is always there to support young global leaders like future youth that will eventually represent us in the future. As a politician, scientist, paramedic, heart surgeon and many more among successors. Through this minor process we have to know who really are there to support us and who are worried about their image being tainted with temporary styles or vibes.
