There are children, teens, older middle-class whites and people of color. Their lives are shown realistically, honestly and no-holds barred. There is no narrator – any questions necessary are shown in script on the screen.

Rockland LGBTQ Pride
Monday, May 14th, 2012Welcome to VCS Gay Pride Rockland
In early 1999, we tested the idea of developing a gay pride event with LGBT community members, local shop keepers, religious leaders, non-profit agencies and elected officials. We shared from the outset that our mission would be to affirm the dignity of all LGBT people, their families, friends, and allies who live in every hamlet, village and town in Rockland County. And at the same time, we wanted to transform the stereotypes that so adversely impact the LGBT community.

The group donated another quilt panel to C.A.N.D.L.E., based in New City, NY. ARCS’ LaShonda DeCosta was on hand to accept the quilt on behalf of ARCS. It will hang proudly in our Spring Valley office for many years to come.
