This June Disney hosted a collection of LGBTQIA2S-targeted ‘pride nites’ at Disneyland. This is only the second year in Disneyland’s nearly 70 year history where the company has actually created their own pride experience…so…how was it?
Christopher Beale reports from inside Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite 2024, and Bethanee Bemis from the Smithsonian gives us the timeline of queer celebrations inside the happiest place on earth.

The “I” in LGBTQIA2S stands for intersex, which represents a seemingly endless list of possible combinations of our human X and Y chromosomes. 
Some intersex individuals are misdiagnosed with various other ailments in their youth — like Klinefelter's Syndrome — and ultimately have to make difficult, life and identity-altering decisions in adulthood.
