Pride is a big deal in the LBGTQIA Plus community, but, for some of us who are blind or visually impaired, the idea of attending such a huge event can feel scary and/or overwhelming. On this episode of Pride Connection, we reached out to some of our members who have attended pride marches all over the country and came away with some tips and tricks that might make the whole experience feel a bit more doable.

Another Met Gala has come and gone. The annual charity fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute always draws the world's attention as notable artists, entertainers and the wealthy elite parade in lavish and often ridiculous outfits.Despite not being in attendance this year, Lady Gaga  managed to be the top shared celebrity on the Internet for her Guggenheim Museum inspired dress. The catch? It was all done with AI, while Gaga probably stayed home nice and cozy in a bath full of bubbles and a dart board with Madonna's face on it. Today we take a look at all the wet and wild news stories, like Lady Gaga and Rhianna's fake Met Gala gowns, and how Pride Celebrations this year are shrinking in New York and Chicago. Feast of Fun is made possible because of listeners like you, thank you!Check out Shameless Care:shamelesscare.com/feasts Plus–• Madonna's last stop in Rio for her Celebration Tour surpasses the Rolling Stones as the 5th biggest music concert in history. • Twitter/X Ceo Elon Musk tells JK Rowling to post interesting and positive content on the site. • Republicans wear diapers in support of President Trump.• Good vibrations- fiddler crabs send vibrations through the ground to attract a mate.

In a recent episode of the Your Radical Truth podcast, hosted by Margaret Mary O'Connor, the remarkable Reverend Maura Bernard revealed her multifaceted journey — a unique fusion of a rock DJ career and a profound calling to priesthood.    This rich narrative traces back to her roots in Washington, DC, where she made waves as an Air Personality of the Year at WBAB, an accolade bestowed upon her by Billboard magazine.   A Dual Identity Unveiled: From Rock DJ to Reverend   Reverend Maura's enthralling career in radio was filled with her interviewing rock stars, covering Grammy Awards, and reporting on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions. However, beneath the glamorous exterior of her rock DJ persona, a deeper calling resonated within her. A spiritual tug-of-war unfolded, eventually leading her to pursue a master's degree in theological studies at Washington Theological Union in DC.   A Spiritual Calling Strengthened by Life's Transitions   The passing of Reverend Maura's parents became a poignant turning point in her spiritual journey. During her mother's final days, a profound moment strengthened her connection to spirituality, solidifying her resolve to follow the divine calling she felt persistently.   More at:  www.YourRadicalTruth.com/016-Maura-Bernard

The changing public expectations for how corporations should honor Pride month has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride over the past decade. Pressure from both the public and from employees to support the LGBTQ+ community has been vocalized and well documented. That pressure was followed by some corporate missteps and accusations of pinkwashing, but this year's corporate pride celebrations have been the most conflicted in recent memory. Right-wing backlash led Target to pull its Pride merchandise from stores and AB InBev to yank ads featuring a transgender influencer. Those companies have made a lot of headlines, but they are not alone in facing backlash and needing to figure out how to respond. These responses have impacted both the public perception of companies and their bottom lines. In this episode of Leadership Next, GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis joins hosts Alan Murray and Michal Lev-Ram to discuss how the country's political atmosphere has impacted this year's Pride, and why it feels different from previous years. She shares advice and guidance for companies in supporting the LGBTQ+ community and explains what happens when CEOs listen to the needs and desires of both shareholders and stakeholders to guide these sorts of decisions. Ellis also talks more about GLAAD's transformation under her leadership from a media watchdog to a consultant and advisor to media, advertising, social media and business industries on representation and support of LGBTQ+ people. Leadership Next is powered by Deloitte.

Perhaps the most disgraceful display of perversion at the White House happened on Saturday, June 10, when President Joe Biden welcomed the Pride Celebration to the South Lawn. Biden said to the world, “Happy Pride Month. Happy Pride year. Happy Pride life.” That is the focus of the administration for now and forever. The rest of America be damned.

Join HPP's Pride Celebration by checking out LGBTQ+ article collections from 2021 and 2022, listening to LGBTQ+ voices on our Spotify playlist, and reflecting back on Season 1 Episode 23. In this episode, Arden Castle is in conversation with Dr. Carlos Rodriguez-Diaz, Leo Kattari, and Lisa Carlson to celebrate PRIDE month and the 20 year anniversary of Health Promotion Practice's first LGBTQ+ article. They talk about their unique perspectives, bringing their authentic selves to their work, visibility, and the past and future of writing about LGBTQ+ topics. Their stories are intertwined and unique, and they close with advice for journals and younger LGBTQ+ scholars or practitioners. This episode refers to the commentary "⁠HPP Celebrates Pride⁠" by Kathleen M. Roe, DrPH, MPH, and the article "⁠An Analysis of Tobacco Industry Marketing to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Populations: Strategies for Mainstream Tobacco Control and Prevention⁠" by Perry Stevens, MPA, Lisa M. Carlson, MPH, CHES, and Johanna M. Hinman, MPH, CHES.

From parades and parties to activism and protests, LGBTQ+ folks in Massachusetts and across the country are in the midst of celebrating Pride month. But Boston's relationship with Pride has a complicated recent history. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the signature Pride parade and other events in 2020 and 2021. And in July 2021, Boston Pride, the group that organized the city's parade for decades, was accused of racism and mismanagement. Boston Pride then dismantled. "I think it goes back to when there were certain trans leaders asking to lead the conversation, asking for more representation, we kept being told that we could get to that," Julia Golden, interim president of Trans Resistance MA, said about Boston Pride's dissolution. "I think that there has been harm done to the trans community by leaving us as an afterthought again. To really showcase Pride is to put those who are marginalized first." A new organization, Boston Pride For The People, has now emerged and is promising a more inclusive organization and celebrations. "I wouldn't have it any other way, having Trans Resistance and many other groups hold us accountable for the role that we are aiming to take, which is to organize our city's Pride parade and festival," said Adrianna Boulin, president of Boston Pride For The People. "We don't believe that — with the parade and festival that we've planned this year — that we've reached a point of perfection and have completely fixed everything or healed areas that need to be. We want to move humbly and are aiming to move humbly. We want to present what we feel or what we've aimed to be community informed and to have that continuous feedback loop of information of what we're aiming to do, what our actual outcomes are. ... We want to be able to follow that path and have it be a process that the community is actually a part of. And we've aimed to include community in our planning up to this point for the parade and festival, and that's not going to stop." GUESTS Adrianna Boulin, president of Boston Pride For The People Julia Golden, interim president of Trans Resistance MA
