“The City of Orlando has always been a welcoming and inclusive place, and Orange County as well.” Florida mother and Come Out With Pride Orlando executive director Tatiana Quiroga, speaks at a press conference for Parenting with Pride as it organizes against book bans, censorship, and “whitewashing” history in Florida classrooms in front of Orange County Public Schools headquarters in Orlando. “Within the LGBTQ+ community and in our history, we’ve had setbacks, but every single time, we’ve managed to march forward and overcome them,” said Tatiana Quiroga, executive director of Come Out With Pride. More than 200,000 people are expected to gather throughout the celebration, which also includes a colorful pride parade, nationally-known drag headliners and a fireworks display. That’s the theme of the 19th Come Out With Pride Orlando event, which takes place beginning at noon on Saturday with family-friendly festivities, entertainment, vendors and resources for the community. Tens of thousands of LGBTQ+ individuals and allies are set to gather at Lake Eola in Orlando this weekend, showing the community and world that they are “Stronger Together.”
