Sarah wakes up on the first day of Pride in NYC, after a delightful dream filled with butterflies, gay men, and equal TV time for Jasmine and Melissa. Inspired by such a wonderful start to her day, she meets up with a Bravoholic pal starting his Pride by recording in the cloffice for another 18-hour mini ep: Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator). They have a true round robin style AG kiki, unpacking the ways LGBTQ+ stories have been told on Bravo, underdeveloped camera time for Imrul, Jasmine, and Zak, whether Janet and Jason are 'too normal' for the Valley and Bravo-specific reality TV, Jesse's confounding interview about his Michelle's birth choices, how to make sense of the re-and post-coupling on Summer House (and yes, alternate views on Jesse and Lexi, Ciara and West, and Craig and Paige), Shamea v. Porsha, a status update on Love Hotel (and the differences in how the cast is approaching 'romance'), and why Sarah feels like she needs to write an apology note to Shan (with a Sharpie, obvs). Happy Pride to all, and to Sonja, who's still trying to spell it out - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 674! Part 1!

Highlighted Organizations Supporting Civilians in Israel and Gaza:
Women Wage Peace: Women Wage Peace is the largest grassroots peace movement in Israel whose purpose is to promote a political agreement, involving women in the process. Today the movement has more than 44,000 members.
NewGround: a Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change: NewGround envisions an America where Muslims and Jews and others, both secular and religious, model lasting partnerships and engagement in authentic communication and mutual cooperation. The organization empowers Muslims, Jews and allies to bridge divisions and leverage shared values to strengthen our communities and our fragile democracy.
Standing Together: Standing Together is a progressive grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice. We know that the majority have far more in common than that which sets us apart and only a tiny minority benefits from the status quo. The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for everyone in this land, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible.
Solutions Not Sides: Solutions Not Sides has been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 2010. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred.
Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed. With your support, we can continue this vital work, ensuring that the over one million children of Gaza receive the urgent care they need and deserve. https://www.pcrf.net/
