Although usual Pride Month festivities were canceled this year due to Covid-19, Gulfport residents and businesses celebrated by painting the town in colors of the rainbow. The Pride In Place and Pride In Place (Part 2) Facebook pages, created by Jon Ziegler and Paul Ray, displayed the abundant creativity and spirit of Gulfport.
