02:00Today is not just a day of celebration but it's a day of affirmation. Pride is about

02:25solidarity, it's about recognition. Today when we come together to show the world that

02:29Pride really does conquer all. And it's not just accepted but necessary and cherished.

02:36We gather to honour the journey we've all undertaken. For some of us it's not been easy,

02:40for some of us it's been painful, it's been hard, we've lost people along the way, there's

02:46been moments of doubts and fear. But for others it's been a passive self-discovery and empowerment.

02:52But no matter what direction we come from, we're all going in the same direction. And

02:57our story today, we're united in our shared identity and our shared purpose to live authentically,

03:03unapologetically and with pride.
