'We matter': Protest against anti-LGBTQ legislation sweeps across downtown Montgomery Hadley Hitson / Montgomery Advertiser / May 16, 2023

“This is one of the birthplaces of the civil rights movement, and we’re going to continue making it so,��� Montgomery Pride United Director Meta Ellis said. “I’ve been fighting my whole life, and I’m going to keep fighting until they drag me out.”

Ellis attended her first protest at the age of three, and now, she rightfully claims the title of “life-long activist.” She and her wife celebrated their six-year anniversary on Tuesday. 

Her organization, Montgomery Pride United, was among several that participated in Tuesday’s march, including The University of Alabama LGBTQ Alumni Association and the Human Rights Campaign. State Rep. Neil Rafferty and State Sen.Merika Coleman also spoke in support of the march.
