Reg Lyn Bihag, the President of the Kaabag LGBTQIA+ Federation, has voiced frustration in the preparation for this event, but remains steadfast in organizing the Pride March throughout the month, to keep the momentum going for the SOGIE Bill.
"It's challenging considering we've been marching for equality since who knows how many years, but the SOGIE Bill is something we need to push for," Bihag expressed.
