Event Overview
In our deeply polarized society, what role does PRIDE play in shaping identity and forging community? Or has LGBTQ become so normalized – “so over the rainbow” as some declare – it has lost relevance? What does it mean to be LGBTQ at this juncture, when many in the community are under attack?
Speakers this week will share their stories and perspective on this moment in time. Please join us – with your questions – for a lively panel discussion.
