| | Attendees: Hudson's first Pride signals community progress, despite protesters |
A celebration of the St. Croix Valley's queer community drew about 1,000 people to Hudson, Wis.’s Lakefront Park. Event attendees said it was an exciting indication of progress, despite the presence of protesters. The Valley Wide Pride event Saturday was the first of its kind in Hudson.
Matthew Darnold, founder and president of Hudson Pride Co., the nonprofit that organized the event, said the event felt healing for many members of the LGBTQ+ community like him. He said the area has traditionally lacked spaces where queer people could feel fully comfortable being themselves. | |
