It&#8217;s Pride with a waterfront view. Anyone is welcome to attend &#8211; gay, straight, bi, trans, anywhere on the rainbow spectrum, and it&#8217;s important for allies to come out as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Muskoka community overall has been supportive, says Forth. &#8220;It really is an accepting and inclusive community. Every community has a little ways to go and Muskoka Pride sees itself as an organization helping to build those bridges.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
