On March 20, the Keystone Pride Conference brought together ten pride organizations from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. NW PA Pride Alliance was represented by board president Alex Sphon and entertainment coordinator Tony Gressley. TransFamily of Erie was represented by their organization’s president, Caitlyn Strohmeyer.
The groups from Philadelphia, New Hope, Harrisburg, northwestern Pennsylvania, Reading, northeastern Pennsylvania, Chester County, Schuylkill County, Rowan University, South Jersey, and Staten Island discussed the topics of volunteers, entertainment, youth participation, and Trans inclusion (with the latter being lead by NW PA Pride and TransFamily of Erie).
The groups met at the State Capitol building, in a room secured by Rep. Brian Sims. About halfway through the day-long event, Governor Tom Wolf stopped by to thank the organizers for their work and promised to move the Fairness Act through the General Assembly as soon as possible.
