“It's arts and culture that maintains a space for people to feel grounded — and seen, and heard and appreciated. Yes, pride is a celebration, but is also a riot. It's a protest, because the personal is political, and this is as much a protest as it is about the joy of sharing community and music with one another, because we will not be silenced, and we're not going anywhere. We're here, we're queer, we're marching everywhere.”
Rachel Gulick, Co-Founder, IPE
“The enjoyment and the fun of it is just as important as the musical excellence and the activism of it. We are making a stand, but we're having a really great time doing it. I think that's the best possible combination that we could have.”
Meredith Murphy, Co-Founder IPE
