8 - Pride Month and Pink Economy
Manage episode 366193359 series 3412484
This week on Let’s be perfectly queer podcast we examine why June has become widely recognised as Pride Month, a time when the LGBTQ+ community and its allies come together to celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity, and commemorate the ongoing struggle for equal rights.
