In this impactful episode, we explore a compelling event that occurred during a fundraiser for Kaleidoscope Youth Center, held at Land Grant. Initially intended as a joyous occasion to celebrate and support the center, the day took an unexpected turn when a hateful Nazi far-right group, fully masked, armed, and resolute in spreading their toxic ideology, decided to protest the event. As a result, what should have been a day of positivity and unity turned into hours of adversity and confrontation.
Join us as we have an enlightening conversation with Erin Upchurch, the extraordinary executive director of Kaleidoscope Youth Center. Through her firsthand account, we delve into how KYC, the performers and the entire community, courageously responded to the disruptive and hateful protest with grace and unwavering resilience.
Together, they sent a resounding message that love will always conquer hate, and their steadfast support for LGBTQIA+ youth remains unshakable.
