In the local area, a heartwarming tradition has been a part of Pride celebrations. The activity, known as "Play Catch With a Dad", has been ongoing for over seven years. It was started by John Piermatteo in 2019 and has since become a staple at Pride events.

The tradition involves dads playing catch with attendees, creating a sense of community and connection. It has been well-received, with many people being moved to tears by the experience. For more information and to see photos of the tradition in action, readers can visit LGBTQ Nation, which will be sharing pictures of Pride celebrations throughout May and June.

Readers can also submit their own photos to be included.
