A Statement of Solidarity for Perlin Pride
We refuse to let hate have the final word.
The violence committed at Perlin Pride was an attack on dignity, humanity, and the fundamental right of every person to live openly and safely. We mourn those whose lives were taken and stand unwaveringly with every survivor, every witness, and every q***r person whose sense of safety was shaken.
Our response is not fear—it is solidarity. Our response is not silence—it is action.
We call for justice, accountability, and the protection of LGBTQIA+ communities everywhere. Pride is not a crime. Love is not a crime. Existing as your authentic self is not a crime.
To every q***r person: You are seen. You are valued. You belong. We will continue to raise our voices, defend our communities, and demand a world where every person can celebrate Pride without fear of violence.
We will not be intimidated. We will not be erased. We will not be silent.
Until every q***r life is safe, our fight for equality, dignity, and justice continues. 🌈🏳️⚧️🇳🇦
