“We were turned down by place after place,” Stanfield said. “And yet Aims answered the call and picked up the torch. You all ensured safety and community for a marginalized group … and for that, you will always be remembered.”
“I believe it is vital to have an art piece dedicated to Pride in Greeley because Greeley's LGBTQ+ community is so masked and underrepresented that people do not understand just how many of us there are,” Stanfield said
A first-of-its-kind Pride event in Greeley took place Saturday with overwhelming success and support from community members of all sexual orientations, backgrounds and ages and even a dog or two. Greeley Pride was co-organized by Simone Perry and Andromeda D’Angelo Stanfield with Aims Community College and PFLAG helping to sponsor the event.
