Dozens of residents of all ages turned out with lots of smiles and bright colors on a beautiful afternoon in front of the Pierce House for Lincoln’s first LGBTQ+ Pride community celebration on June 8.
The Sexuality and Gender Alliance (SAGA), a 30-member organization with students from grades 5-8 in the Lincoln School and Hanscom Middle School, hosted the event, which featured guest speakers, a performance by the Lincoln School Step Team, games, an ice cream truck, music, a raffle. SAGA helps students build connections with each other, support all identities, hosts events, learn to be allies, increase understanding, and improve visibility.
