In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel highlights Faye “What” Albernas, a bold and vibrant voice for unity in the LGBTQ+ community amid growing hostility in Florida. Reporting from Miami Beach Pride, Albernas calls for connection and compassion, even while wrapped in color and confronting serious issues like HIV funding cuts and anti-trans legislation. The hosts discuss the tension between faith and queerness, the power of visibility, and how celebration can be an act of resistance.
