Families celebrate LGBTQ History Month with 'fellowship' at downtown Houston Pride event
Hosted by City Council Member Abbie Kamin in partnership with the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, the annual event is dedicated for LGBTQIA+ families and allies.
More than a dozen families celebrated LGBTQ History Month on Saturday morning at Discovery Green at the city's fourth Families with Pride festival.
Hosted by City Council Member Abbie Kamin in partnership with the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, the annual event is dedicated for LGBTQIA+ families and allies.
"(Today) is really about creating a fun, safe space for LGBTQIA families and allies," Kamin said. "Days like this are more important to give families reprieve, joy and a sense of belonging that their cities stand for them."
Activities included a band performance, a kids costume contest, magic shows and face painting. The event also had a small marketplace with various vendors and a LGBTQ+ history tent. Throughout the morning, children and parents ran around the park chasing and blowing bubbles.
"Sometimes, there has to be thought (when going to certain events)," said Josh Munoz, who came with his husband and two children from Pearland. "To just go (to an event like this) and have fellowship, hang out with other families and enjoy the day is nice."
