Collar City Pride Moves its Festivities Out of Troy

In Collar City Pride’s mission they say they “strive to create a safe and supportive environment where [LGBTQIA2+ folks] can live authentically and thrive.” The organization decided that in this current political moment, Troy is not feeling like a supportive place, especially to TGNCNB (Transgender/Gender Non-Conforming/Non-Binary) folks, and is therefore moving its festivities outside of Troy. Collar City Pride founder and board chair Meagon Nolasco spoke with Sina Basila Hickey for Hudson Mohawk Magazine to elaborate on this decision.
