This Pride season, the importance of embracing and showcasing queerness is starkly emphasized against a backdrop of ongoing government attacks on queer and trans rights. The rise of anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments correlates with political actions like 'Don't say gay' policies and historical erasure. The Advocate's editor-in-chief reflects on taking the helm during these critical times, highlighting various Pride events and stories of local communities. The issue aims to manifest Pride while acknowledging its roots in protest and solidarity, urging outward expression of pride against continued oppression.
In this issue, we're celebrating Communities of Pride, showcasing how queer people across the country manifest Pride in their local areas.
But for those who can be out and proud, now is a time to show up and speak out. It's time to remind people that the first Pride parade was a protest.
