Fort Wayne Pride 2019

Fort Wayne Pride was a lot of fun this year. I said last year it was my best Pride yet but this year tops that. It really was all about love and spreading love all around was what I felt. I have accepted and will always love Daniel all the time. This Pride, it made me love Daniel all over again and accept the Real Daniel than I ever have before. Pride really helped me become more social and looking back at going to Pride five years, it surely has helped me. This year, I truly came out of my shell, which I don’t normally do. Pride is about yourself, and others who come to Pride accept all sexual orientations. You have to live your truth. I live in my truth, which I am a strong, proud, black Gay Man in the United States in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Fort Wayne is where I am born and raised. It was very nice to see everyone who I am friends with building up old and new friendships. I knew my friends and the Pride committee for a while and wish the Fort Wayne Pride committee to continue putting together more Gay Pride festivals for years to come. Seeing every young and old faces and beautiful human beings enjoying themselves it really was all worth it. So, that in itself was what made Fort Wayne Pride what it was. What I remember most about attending Fort Wayne Pride was embracing hugs from loving human beings who are from the churches in Fort Wayne, being recognize for all my efforts of being a positive role model for being Autistic and serving my community and my first book, My Voice: Faced with Autism. I was interviewed about my first book for Ally. TV, a local LGBTQ tv news show all about LGBTQ entertainment in Indianapolis and also was featured on Downtown Fort Wayne Instagram online, made me happy. I was very proud to have been a part of the celebration of Fort Wayne Pride this year.
