“To remember every stone thrown by our mother-fathers at Stonewall, to keep applauding their/ kick lines that fired-up our fight for freedom, to still hear their voices singing against the / nightsticks of hate. Let there be Pride.”

This Pride Month, I’m proud to share a video with excerpts from my poem “Let There Be Pride” as performed at the historic Stonewall Inn. From the Love Conquers All Campaign, presented by Sam Adams and the Poetry Pride series, we celebrate LGBTQ voices by spotlighting our rainbows and empowering communities. Always, proud to be part of this pride!
