Bonners Ferry’s first Pride event set for June

Bonners Ferry will hold the community’s first Pride event in June at the Pearl Theater. 

“The ‘gay agenda’ is simply this: visibility for gay, lesbian, and queer identities that were historically marginalized,” Bonners Ferry Pride committee members said in a press release. “People who have long been ignored, persecuted, pushed into the shadows, and killed — simply for being who they were. It's a coming together of the community, both queer and allies, to support each other with acceptance and love.” 

“There are queer people everywhere and a local Pride event lets them know they are not alone and that they are supported by their neighbors,” they said. "Please show up for each other. Love will win.”
