We estimate that I have appeared at nearly 150 Prides.
“Headliners” come and go, and many of us who have been playing our part for so many years and are overlooked, that’s why this award means so much to me. #TurnItIntoLove 🏳️🌈HDxx pic.twitter.com/pMFKkHLR1x— Hazell Dean 💗🏳️⚧️ (@HazellHD) September 23, 2019
