Pride Edition 2023

This episode, hosts Alix & Daniel and panelists Alba & Jasmine tell listeners 5 Stories of unsung (and not sung enough) LGBTQIA+ heroes:

• Marsha P. Johnson & Sylvia Rivera
• Bayard Rustin
• Barbara Gittings
• Magnus Hirschfeld & Dora Richter
• Justin Vivian Bond

While Pride Month tends to be treated as an all-out celebration, it is important to remember the roots of Pride (as a riot) and the LGBTQIA+ movement over the years.  From the people who started our modern movement, to the activists who made change happen, to icons of today, the path has been paved by sacrifice and heart of those who came before us. The hosts and panel will not only tell about the LGBTQIA+ heroes they think more folks should know about, but also why those heroes are so important to them personally and what it means for the current moment we're in.

Hosts: Daniel Avon, Alix Black, Alba Anthony, Jasmine Reyes
