Nearly 500 marchers (and a dozen four-legged companions) participated in the Sunshine Coast Pride foot parade on Sunday, June 1. The group celebrated unity and visibility for 2SLGBTQIA+ people by marching from Davis Bay Pier to Mission Point Park. Leading the throng was grand marshall Kao Lawrie, founder of the women’s/trans/two-spirit/non-binary inclusive This Tournament Has Everything hockey tournament. A four-hour festival in the park followed, hosted by effervescent local drag star Davis Gay.
