About This Issue
Pride is about centering our defiant joy. It’s about marching and dancing and singing in the streets — despite those who trying to silence. It’s about celebrating all of the beautiful identities that make our movement stronger. It’s about visibility. It’s about telling the stories — loud and proud — of the battles we are still fighting today for our LGBTQ+ community. We have so much more work to do before we can truly celebrate pride without exception.
