"We want to let people know that the department has LGBTQ members so they can feel welcome to join and march with us," Lett explained. "It's just a general feeling of welcoming."
"Midwives support all people to have equal rights in birth and perinatal care, so we're here to celebrate," said Selzer, who has also attended Brooklyn Pride in the past. "It just feels important to come out."
Many elected officials, schools, libraries, churches, and corporations showed support. Notable figures like AG Letitia James and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams marched, emphasizing LGBTQIA+ integration.
