Pride Marianas KIKI is a safe-space celebration promoting inclusion and love among all people.\u00a0All funds go toward covering the costs of creating this safe, inclusive, and fabulous event, and promoting a more inclusive CNMI that supports diversity and individual expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Historically, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations\u2014LGBT\u2014have faced discrimination, bullying, and other adverse treatment from peers, classmates, family, and other members of their own community. Some of this adverse treatment of LGBT individuals still occurs today. This celebration aims to fight these negative behaviors\u00a0and raise awareness in our community.\u00a0This celebration welcomes and embraces people from every color of the rainbow.<\/p>\n
The committee has been hard at work to create a fabulous event for Pride 2021, and appreciates the support from all partners, sponsors, and allies that have contributed to making this event possible:\u00a0Pride Marianas Youth, Top Shelf Wine & Spirits, Rep. Sheila Babauta, Marpac, Joeten Enterprises, Turnkey Solutions, Pacifica Insurance, Roil Soil, T-Project, Athlete’s Foot, Marianas Crane, Naked Fish, and Tribe Marianas.\u00a0 The support from all allies in the community creates a safer, stronger, more diverse CNMI.<\/p>\n
