Linked by Love Mall Walk

























May 22 marked the first "Linked by Love" LGBT visibility Mall Walk. Over 30 participants, same-sex couples, family members, friends and supporters donned messaged t-shirts and strolled through Marketplace Mall in Henrietta to call attention to the fact that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and couples are linked by love to each other, to family, friends and the community at large. The event advocated for support of Marriage Equality for same-sex couples.
