For something like PRIDE House to happen, the hard work and dedication of many individuals is necessary. We need a house full of volunteers and we need visionaries who have fought the battles and won.
A perfect example of that is Marion Lay. She is a member of the steering committee that helped to make PRIDE House a reality and she is also a medal-winning Olympian. She competed in two Olympics and she knows what it is like to have to hide your sexuality. She serves as an inspiration to all of us who have made PRIDE House part of our lives and we're thankful to have her insight and unique perspective each and every day. While no athletes have come out during these games, they all know that there is a vibrant queer presence here in Vancouver and that's what PRIDE House is all about!
