105. The Pride Divide (with Tyrell Brown)

A Jaded Gay

In previous episodes, we discussed the origins of Pride and the importance of continuing to stand up for equality. However, members of the LGBTQ+ community debate the meaning, purpose, and execution of modern-day Pride celebrations, which highlights the lack of diversity within mainstream events.
In this episode, Tyrell Brown, Executive Director of the radical social justice organization Galaei, joins us to discuss the importance of intersectionality and the ongoing work needed to ensure that Pride truly reflects the diversity of our community.
