OURFest continues to be a place to find resources and community

“It was the best National Coming Out Day that I’ve been a part of in Philadelphia history,” said GALAEI Executive Director Tyrell Brown about sharing the day with tens of thousands of people attending the second annual OURFest — the parade and festival that marks the holiday for Philadelphians.

The weekend kicked off with a parade that weaved throughout Center City on Oct. 12. Various LGBTQ-centered organizations, nonprofits and leaders participated in the parade — dancing on floats or waving flags as they marched in the streets. The historic 400-foot Pride flag was also carried throughout the city. Read more.
