October is LGBTQ+ History Month and we will be sharing stories all month long!
To get us started, let’s go down memory lane to a recent historical moment for Lansing Pride! This year’s festival brought together a record 30,000 people to Old Town to celebrate and be in community!
In a time when our existence is resistance, we thank everyone who came out!
