Ryan Shelley said Pride Lafayette has a big outreach.
"It serves the entire area," said Shelley. "Clinton, Cass, Carroll and all the surrounding areas. Benton. It is something that this organization reaches out in many many ways that many people probably are not aware of."

He said Pride Lafayette is vital to the community.
"This organization has come a long way and they have done leaps and bounds, not just for this community, but the LGBTQ community as well," said Shelley.
