447 - Is Pride Still Relevant

Every June, the world turns rainbow. Companies update their logos, Pride festivals fill city streets, and social media overflows with messages of support. For many LGBTQ+ people, it's a celebration of how far we've come. For others, it raises some uncomfortable questions.

Has Pride become too commercial? Has it become less political? Has it become more inclusive—or less? And where do bisexual, kinky, non-monogamous, and other often-overlooked communities fit into modern Pride?

In this Pride Month episode, Bradford and Angela explore the evolution of Pride from protest to party, discuss the rise of rainbow capitalism, tackle the perennial kink-at-Pride debate, and examine why bisexual people can still feel invisible in spaces that are supposed to celebrate the entire LGBTQ+ community.

Whether you see Pride as a protest, a celebration, a memorial, or simply an excuse to wear too much glitter, join us as we ask: has Pride lost its edge, or is this simply what progress looks like?

As always, expect thoughtful discussion, a few strong opinions, and probably at least one tangent.
