​

9. I agree that myself and everyone in my party participating:
- Is an ally to the sexual and gender minority (SGM) community.
- Is not a hate group.
- Will adhere to the Pride Center of Maryland's mission, to be a catalyst for uniting and empowering sexual and gender minorities in Baltimore and Central Maryland, and advocate for a better quality of life for the entire community.
