in a Pride event.
It's a bit sad to say, but she still has that opportunity. Let's make it a reality.

We've got Justin Trudeau marching in Toronto next weekend. Should be spectacular.

(58,785 posts)9. "Frank reminds us how significant it was for the First Lady
to have marched with the LGBT community something a lot of senators and congressmen had been afraid to do until fairly recently.
I encountered one of the most moving, emotional outpourings Ive ever seen, Frank remembers. Because here were people who had lived their lives being mocked, being shunned by their own families And the sight of the First Lady of the United States marching in a gay Pride Parade. That was an enormously powerful demonstration.
16 years later, Clinton is still celebrating New York City Pride.

This is the 2006 37th Gay Pride Parade.
