In this Deep Cuts special from Pride This Way, we step off the parade route to talk with the people living inside the laws: students, politicians, professors, and organizers navigating the impact of LGBTQ+ legislation across the United States.
This episode features activists, Jay W. Walker and Brigid McGinn from Gays Against Guns (our Pay-It-Forward Program Recipient), Senator Danica Roem, former Mayor Annise Parker, and transgender founder of TQVoices, Jade Runk.
As visibility and celebration grow, policy is still quietly defining who gets protected, who feels unsafe, and whose stories are erased. This episode unpacks how recent decisions during the Trump administration have challenged queer and trans rights, what those changes mean on campus and in community spaces, and where listeners can find power in resistance and coalition-building. Listen in for a grounded, human look at Pride beyond the confetti—where policy is personal, and the stakes are real.
