Pride Month is here, and Germanna is excited to share a series of vibrant local events celebrating diversity, inclusion, and love. This year's theme, 'Embrace Your Pride,' invites everyone to embrace their true selves, promote understanding, and unite as a community. Pride Month is about more than just rainbows—it's about living authentically, fostering acceptance, and standing together in solidarity.
