This Disability Pride Month, we recognize the contributions of disabled, queer activists like Barbara Jordan. Barbara was the the first African American woman from a southern state to be elected to the House of Representatives (1973). Thank you for standing up for our southern siblings, Barbara!

Police and the LGBTQIA+ community are often at odds: Pride began as a riot against police brutality of queer and trans folks. We want you to stay SAFE and avoid confrontation. If you do ever get stopped by the police, here are some things you should know. Full post on IG and FB.

"Drag" has historically been an important folk custom, a beautiful theatrical form, and a powerful tool of self-expression. Drag is play, drag is fun, drag is freedom. Drag performers have been foundational pillars of civil rights activism, and their art deserves to be celebrated.
