The Pride Alliance of Livingston wants to fill the county with hope and inspiration this June.
The organization, which is sponsored by the Livingston Diversity Council, is planning a series of outdoor and virtual activities to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. We had a creative group of people with really lofty goals of providing various activities in various ways, said Anne Rennie, co-chair of the Pride Alliance of Livingston. No matter how anybody wanted to get involved, there is a method to do so.
Pride Month will kick off with a Rainbow Reception from noon to 3 p.m. June 6 at the Mill Pond Amphitheatre in Brighton. The event will feature live music, sidewalk chalking and conversations about how to support members of the LGBTQ+ community.
