Should Straight People March in Pride? (Opinion)

Once every year my favorite day comes around. It’s the day where I feel accepted and welcomed by my peers, and truly comfortable in my identity. I am of course referring to Pride Day.

I arrived early so I could stand up the front near the barriers and lean on them, high fiving passing families and parade marchers.

The first reason why I treasure this day exceedingly much is that it was spent with a family that I have never gotten to see regularly. The Sanders family is heavily involved in Christian ministry.…
