Enjoy the floats, music, and festivities all Pride Month long but understand that Pride is a movement for LGBTQ+ activists.
There has been progress in some sectors, but we have also seen recent legislation that is creating a setback – yes Texas and Florida, we’re talking about you.
In this episode, Host Natasha Phelps has an interesting and humorous conversation with L’Monique King – a literary enthusiast that is an ‘out and proud, lesbian Black woman.”
King touches on the history of pride, intersectionality, and how she works to defend and teach the next generation about LGBT+ rights.
Once you’re done listening, Natasha and L’Monique encourage you to keep learning about Pride on your own. Start with these incredible leaders:
Marsha P Johnson, Bayard Rustin, Pauli Murray, Angela Davis, and
Angela Davis, Audre Lorde
