\u201cThis event coming up is a culmination of the entire decade’s worth of work. It brings together people from different backgrounds, but we all come together to feel the need to express ourselves and any form of way. \u2026It is a place of freedom, a place of somewhere that’s unapologetic, and it’s understanding, kind, and loving,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
