🌈 56 Years of Pride: Are We Really Any Further? | Karel Cast Ep. 25‑87

⸻

Description:

🔥 June 29, 1969 — the spark that ignited a movement. The Stonewall Uprising was our Fort Sumter, our beginning. Now, 56 years later… we ask: What has truly changed?

In this episode of The Karel Cast, Karel dives into:

• 🌈 Why it’s called Pride — and whether being LGBTQ+ still requires courage

• 🏳️‍🌈 The erosion of progress: Republicans targeting gay marriage again

• 💥 The power of visibility vs the reality of political regression

• ⚖️ Diddy’s trial, Trump’s likely pardon, and the corruption of consequences

• 🎭 Kevin Spacey wins awards — does talent excuse history? And what does it say to survivors?

This isn’t just a Pride Month recap — it’s a reckoning.

💬 Let’s get real. Are we proud? Are we safe? And are we being heard?
