Hamilton’s first Pride event to be held virtually throughout June

“We wanted to make sure that even though we’re not physically having an event, and we’re not going to be getting together in person, that there’s still the sense of the initial mission of the group,” he said. “And that’s why we’re going to do different things throughout the whole month — keep people engaged all through June.

“It’s the best that we can do given the circumstances. I think it’s the responsible decision.”

The goal of the events is to celebrate diversity of all, promote inclusion and help raise awareness of sexual and gender diversity, while creating a sense of community for LGBTQ people and their families.
