SUFFOLK, Va. — On Sunday, Bennett's Creek Park in Suffolk was filled with color, and for the first time, PRIDE.
Christian Almas lives in Chesapeake. He heard about the first-ever pride event in Suffolk.
Almas said the celebration allowed him the freedom to express himself.
“This is my first time doing drag. I've been kind of iffy, kind of scared to come out in public because of people’s views and stuff but when I come to pride, I feel welcomed. I love their energy. The atmosphere is so accepting," said Almas.
