“We come around to June annually, and we get really excited about a party and an event - but the realities are our community still has a long way to go, and we all need to take part in responsibility in ensuring that this is a good place for them to live, this is a safe place for them to live,” Royce said. Hannah Royce, President of the OKC Pride Alliance, said while the pandemic did pause in-person events, it did not change the need to address issues for the LGBTQ+ community such as food poverty, substance abuse and homelessness rates. The OKC Pride Alliance adapted to the pandemic and had virtual events last year, but this year the organization is hosting in-person festivities. Now, June is recognized as Pride Month, a time for remembrance and celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. The first Pride march was one year after the Stonewall Uprising in June 1969. Organizations like the OKC Pride Alliance and Oklahomans for Equality are hosting in-person events, after many last year were held virtually or paused due to the coronavirus pandemic.
