Not Just a Month: Voices of Pride Through Time

Not Just a Month: Voices of Pride Through Time

For Pride Month, we created an open call for submissions for you (yes, you!) to have the opportunity to share your story regarding your LGBTQIA+ identity. Whether this be your complex coming out story, your tricky feelings regarding this notion, or any story that encompasses your own, nuanced version of being queer, we’ve had the pleasure of listening to your voicemails all month long. 

Today, we’re publishing those stories after the fact of Pride Month to continue to break the narrative of mainstream iterations of pride and queerness, because Pride month is every month. Listen below to hear a selection of submitted their stories, maybe cry some gay tears, and, most importantly, feel the pride.
