Daily News | Pennsylvania’s largest Pride flag comes to Philly ahead of weekend’s march and festival
“We anticipate things like [counterprotests] happening, of course, but that’s not our focus,” said Brown. “Our focus is on serving the community.”
Brown said the flag and partnership with Visit Philly came together in just under two weeks. Interim Visit Philly president Jennifer Nagel was excited at the prospect of setting a statewide record.Brown said one of Galaei’s team members connected them with a flag artisan from Gettysburg, who was able to sew something that large.
“We were shocked when we saw it,” Brown said. “Two-hundred feet sounded large, but this is larger than we ever expected.” Aryanna Gomez-Mares, 19, a queer organizer who is volunteering at the Pride march and festival this weekend, was there to lay out the flag with about a dozen others.
