Members of the LGBTQIA community gathered in celebration of Pride in Corning on Saturday by attending a car pride event hosted by Corning Pride.
Attendees decorated their vehicles with bright colored balloons, ribbons, signs and banners riding together towards Market Street.
Many businesses on Market Street honored pride month after the motorcade and some supported by wearing pride colors.
“Queer people are already a marginalized community and so anyone who already experiences isolation in the way that LGBTQ people often do was especially isolated this past year because of quarantining and that sort of thing so we really just wanted to create a safe fun way for people to gather together and bring the queer community together within Corning,” Blagg, Co-Founder and Board President of Corning Pride said.
