🏳️🌈 Do you really know the history of Pride? In this powerful Pride Month episode of HOT AIR, host Joshua Robert takes you back to where the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement began: the Stonewall Riots of 1969.
We’re uncovering the queer history they didn’t teach you in school, including:
🔥 What actually happened at Stonewall in June 1969 and why it sparked a revolution
📜 The oppressive anti-gay laws and police brutality that criminalized queer life in the 1960s
💃🏾 The powerful roles of drag queens, trans women of color, lesbians, and queer youth who led the uprising
🗣️ Firsthand accounts and activist quotes from the front lines of Stonewall
🌈 How Pride evolved from protest to party, and why both are essential today
✊ Why we still need Pride now, especially with the rise of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation
If you’re a baby gay just starting your journey, an ally looking to learn, or someone who wants to honor the brave LGBTQ+ activists who paved the way, this episode is required queer listening.
🎧 Listen now to learn the real history of Stonewall and feel empowered to keep fighting for LGBTQ+ rights and equality
