Amidst a statewide assault on LGBTQ+ rights, Byronโ€™s work proves that joy and justice are not mutually exclusive. From expanding St. Pete Prideโ€™s year-round programming to co-founding Justice Over Everything (a nonprofit bridging gaps in advocacy and equity), he reveals how coalition-building can outlast oppressionโ€”and why Tampa Bayโ€™s queer community thrives when it centers the most marginalized.
