PRIDE! Marsha P. Johnson's Legacy & Origins of Pride Month (SPOILER: It's not a party)

THE FIRST PRIDE WAS A RIOT! Happy pride! For our pride episode, we’re talking about the life and death of Marsha P. Johnson, the transgender queen who pioneered LGBTQ+ rights. Kelsey tells us about the Stonewall riots that served as a catalyst for the yearly pride celebration we now know and love. But we remind you and ourselves that pride is not just a month-long party of rainbows and corporate rainbow washing -- and that cops do not belong at pride.
