Pride Month is more than rainbow flags and parades — it’s a powerful legacy of resistance, remembrance, and radical love. In this episode, we dive deep into the true origins of Pride, from the Stonewall Riots to the first marches, honoring the activists who paved the way — especially those too often forgotten, like trans women of color and people lost during the HIV/AIDS crisis.

We explore what it really means to be inclusive, shining a light on the full LGBTQIA+ spectrum — including asexual, intersex, disabled, BIPOC, and kink/BDSM communities — and why their voices matter now more than ever. We confront rising anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, talk about the ongoing debates around kink at Pride, and challenge respectability politics that seek to divide us.

Pride is not about perfection. It’s about presence. Protest. Power. And people.

Because if everyone isn’t welcome, it’s not Pride.
