PHOENIX — Alero Mills has welcomed thousands of folks to Steele Indian School Park for the annual Pride Festival since 2002. The longtime volunteer witnessed the growth of a movement firsthand.
“When you come to Pride, I want to make sure that you leave here knowing that you have a support system, knowing that you have people that regardless of what you’re going through, we’ll be there for you,” said Mills now in her 50s. “When I was growing up, it was different, I couldn’t be me and to see kids and young adults be themselves, I’m really happy for them.”
Helfgot says the festival of course provides a fun and safe place for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to gather, but honors those who were on the frontlines of history to help provide a better opportunity for so many.
