Pride is more than glitter and rainbows — it's a movement born from protest, resilience, and the unshakable power of queer joy. In this episode of We Might Regret This, we dive deep into the true meaning of Pride: from the Stonewall Riots to today's global celebrations, from unsung heroes like Marsha P. Johnson and Audre Lorde to the corporations cashing in on rainbows. We explore what Pride looks like in countries where queerness is criminalized, examine why Pride still matters in 2025, and share how you can show up, speak out, and stay proud.
This is the episode for anyone who's ever wondered, “Why do we still need Pride?”
(And the answer is: because we're not done yet.)
