A post-pandemic LGBTQ+ ‘renaissance’ in Worcester, driven by young people
The event was hosted by Joshua Croke, cofounder and president of the nonprofit Love Your Labels, which helps support LGBTQ+ youth through art and design and organizes the Queer AF fashion show.
“We celebrate all bodies, all identities, every experience that has brought every individual into the place in which you are now. We welcome you, we celebrate you — you are beautiful,” Croke, 33, told the crowd. “This is what community looks like and how community is supposed to show up for each other.”
