Last Saturday, the Ketchikan Pride Alliance held its annual Pride Picnic. It was a space for LGBTQ people to build community, celebrate and be visible during Pride Month.
Under the sun and out at Rotary Beach Park, community members gathered for Ketchikan’s annual Pride Picnic, chatting and laughing. On the grill were burgers and hot dogs, and on people’s faces were smiles.
It’s a much different scene than the first pride event, Ketchikan Pride Alliance President Sheen Davis said.
