Description:
Is Donald Trump actually doing the LGBTQ+ community a favor? In this episode of the Karel Cast, we dive into the recent backlash as companies pull out of Pride events due to anti-DEI rhetoric — and why that might not be the worst thing.
Corporations are bailing, boycotts are being threatened, and people are outraged… but maybe it’s time we remember that Pride started as a riot, not a sponsored party. Maybe it’s time to take our power back — and stop relying on brands for validation.
Also in this episode:
🔥 A man throws fire at a crowd — the media frenzy begins: immigration, Free Palestine, and fear-mongering.
🎨 AI is taking over art, film, and writing — but what happens to the human in the humanities?
