In this solo Pride Month episode Jeremy reflects on Pride as both protest and celebration, emphasizing its radical roots and the urgent need for resistance against rising authoritarianism and anti-LGBTQ+ policies. He shares his experience at Milwaukee Pride, where he attended and offered free religious trauma screenings—gathering informal data revealing the deep and widespread impact of religious trauma within queer communities. The episode closes with practical protest safety tips and a call to resource ourselves with rest, joy, and connection as acts of resistance.
