In this episode, I reflect on celebrating Pride Month amidst global turmoil, including conflicts in Gaza, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ukraine. I discuss the impact of these crises on vulnerable populations, especially children, and the significance of advocating for LGBTQ rights during an election year that could shape the future of human rights. The episode emphasizes the importance of balancing celebration with activism, encouraging listeners to support humanitarian efforts and participate in political advocacy to protect and advance LGBTQ rights.
