I BELONG
Pride means I’m not alone.
It gives me hope, joy, and security, and it acknowledges my being in my community.
My being is not merely about me.
It’s about our voice when we sing as SFGMC.
It’s about our sturdy stance when we face backlash from religion, racism, and all phobia.
It’s about us being a community.
Pride is knowing we always stand together, cis, non-binary and trans
