Pride Month: Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion at Quest Hotel and Conference Center Cebu

As June rolls around, Quest Hotel and Conference Center Cebu prepares to embrace the spirit of love, acceptance, and equality as it hosts a series of exciting events to celebrate Pride Month, collectively called “Happy to Be.”

Art lovers and enthusiasts will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a captivating exhibition at the hotel lobby on June 2. The art exhibit, specifically curated for Pride Month, is entitled “Humanizing SOGIE”. It will showcase an array of thought-provoking artworks that celebrate the LGBTQ+ experience, encourage self-expression, and explore the themes of love, identity, and equality by artists of the Toledo Neo Artists Group (TNAG). This visually stimulating event provides a platform for local artists to express their creativity and communicate powerful messages through their artwork.

Distinguished speakers, advocates, and community leaders will come together to discuss various topics such as safe sex, gender sensitivity, workplace inclusion, the masculine experience, the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community, and steps towards creating a more inclusive society.
