Despite the rainbows and parades, Pride tends to remind the LGBTQ+ people of the systemic oppression queer communities have faced, highlighting the ongoing journey toward true equality. Amidst this struggle, it's crucial to embrace and celebrate queer joy as a testament to resilience and a beacon of hope for a more inclusive future.

In this episode, we’re delving into the importance of queer joy and how we can embrace it year-round to challenge the narrative that being queer is rooted in trauma while continuing to raise our voices for further progress and equality.
