A spokesperson for the equality movement, HOCC sends a message via her Pride playlist. “Growing up is full of uncertainties, and growing up in the minority comes with an added sense of being out of place and loneliness. Luckily the world is becoming more open, so that those who once hid can now emerge from their corners; luckily we have music, so those who have not yet found their own voice can find company and comfort in all these melodies. May everyone bravely be themselves. Pride is in us all.”
