We'll be chatting with guests who bring their unique perspectives to the table, discussing everything from the intersection of faith and sexuality to the politics of Pride. Our aim is to create a space where we can have honest, open conversations about topics that often go unaddressed in our community. So tune in as we delve into this taboo terrain, and celebrate the diversity of voices that make our community so vibrant.
