Rainbows And Clouds As NC Town Hosts Pride Fest Amid Trump Administration's Anti-Trans Push | EDGE United States The sound of hymns clashed with drums as thousands gathered for Pride Fest in Wake Forest, North Carolina

Hymns met drums, cops on the roof, and John Pavlovitz in bright sneakers promising ‘we won’t be erased’ #WakeForestPride

This year’s #WakeForestPRIDE was even better than last.

A colorful mix of happy humans celebrating Unconditional Love, far exceeded the sad, impotent protestors from the Baptist Seminary.

I especially appreciated John’s talk about the importance of nurturing our local communities in this time.
