  • Phoenix Equality March for LGBT Rights to Reflect Current Political Worries
    Phoenix equality march for LGBT rights to reflect current political worries BrieAnna J Frank , The Republic | azcentral.com 10:55 a.m. MT June 10, 2017 An equality march scheduled for Sunday in downtown Phoenix will have a more political tone than in years past because of the current political climate, which march organizers say worries the LGBT community. Phoenix Pride is hosting the march and rally as a sister event to the larger Equality March for Unity and Pride being held in Washington, D.C., organizers said. "The theme is unity, and the overarching message is we are our strongest when we stand together as a (Photo: Diego Nacho: Graphic community," said Phoenix Pride spokesman Jeremy Helfgot.

But some say Sunday's gathering will be notably different from previous years' LGBT rallies and marches because of President Donald Trump. "As much as this is about solidarity and unity and intersectionality, it's also about resistance and standing up to fight for what we must do, and that is to fight for our lives," said Ray Bradford, chairman of the Arizona Democratic Party's LGBT caucus. Helfgot said as a 501(c)(3) organization, Phoenix Pride does not make political statements at its events but that speakers have the ability to weave politics into their speeches if they want to. In some cases, though, Phoenix Pride does get involved.
