Christian Nationalism and its effect on Yakima city politics
Manage episode 436713509 series 3303135
Last year, the Yakima City Council made a landmark decision by passing a proclamation to designate the month of June as LGBTQ+ Pride month.
Less than a year later, the council voted to reverse that decision.
The move was celebrated by far right religious leaders like Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk and Sean Feucht, who took to X to applaud the decision.
And while pride celebrations defiantly went on in the city, it’s raised a lot of concerns about the ties between public officials and prominent Christian Nationalist figures.
GUESTS:
- Mai Hoang - Central and Eastern Washington reporter for Cascade PBS.
- Dominick Bonny - investigative journalist based in Wenatchee.
