We are saddened and appalled to learn that on Tuesday evening, North Kansas City council member Wes Graves publicly equated pedophilia with sexual orientation and the LGBTQIA+ community. For decades, this false, homophobic, and transphobic rhetoric has been used to build fear and distrust of the queer community.
Bigoted statements like these are a reminder of why Northland Pride exists - to combat harmful narratives designed to ignite violence against our LGBTQIA+ family. Northland Pride will continue our pledge to unite, uplift, and empower the queer community north of the Missouri River. Comments are closed.
