I truly had the BEST time at Plexus’s 2026 NextGen Pride Party last weekend! 🌈
It was a night for celebration, connection, and to honor the diligent, admirable efforts of LGBTQ+ leaders & changemakers in CLE.
Thank you so much to Plexus for coordinating such a magical evening! It was the perfect way to celebrate queer joy, resilience, and success — and an even more perfect way to kickstart Pride Season! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️☀️
