We March With Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

“So today, I’m marching for that part of me that was once too afraid to march. And for all the people who can’t march, the people living lives like I did…

Today I march to remember that I’m not just a me, but I’m also a we. And we march with pride.”

— Nomi Marks, Sense8
