We'll be deconstructing the complexities of Pride & corporatization, from the exuberant celebrations we see here every August to the tourist problem with straight people entering a scared space. What a fu*king amazing party, to the continued struggles of "queer" identity. We explore the ever-evolving landscape of Pride as a meaningful experience of inclusion and the nuances of shame, guilt, and the power of owning your unique self. Fu* k YEAH, 👍 let's do this!🐆
