Rochester, NY -- Grupo Cultural Latinos En Rochester (GCLER) is proud to announce participation and programming during the 2023 Pride season within the Rochester community. Todos Somos Familia, translated to “We Are All Family” is meant to showcase diverse generations of Latinx LGBT families and what that may have looked like in the past, present, and future. GCLER will support programming including a bilingual storytelling with local Rochester LGBT talent, a family craft workshop, and end with GCLER’s participation in the Trillium Health 2023 Rochester Pride Parade.

All events are all-ages, family friendly engagements encouraging community and togetherness during a tumultuous time for the LGBT community.
