              <text>Executive Director of Capital Pride Alliance, Ryan Bos discusses his experiences concerning the attendance and planning of LGBTQ pride parades. Drawing inspiration from when he was a young boy attending music festivals in Indiana or when he competed in Washington DC’s LGBTQ sports leagues, Bos shows deep appreciation for the sense of community surrounding larger pride events. Joining Capital Pride in the early 2010s, Bos works with organizations such as InterPride, NERP (Northeastern Regional Prides) and POSE (Prides of the Southeast) to orchestrate large-scale pride parades. In this discussion, Bos also tackles issues such as the No Justice No Pride protest, the necessity to promote diverse voices in the community, and the question of whether ‘Pride’ itself is still needed in the present day. </text>
