Today's guest hosts are Edwith Theogene and Charlotte Hancock, Organizing Director and Communications Director for Generation Progress.

During today's show they discuss June being Pride month, which commemorates the Stonewall Riots of June 1969—a movement led by trans women of color in response to police violence towards LGBTQ+ patrons at the Stonewall Inn.  Pride Month is a time to celebrate the lives of LGBTQ people throughout history, reflect on the progress of past decades, and recommit to the fight for true equality for all LGBTQ people.

To discuss what’s happening during Pride Month 2021 and the issues impacting young LGBTQ people today, Edwith and Charlotte are joined by two expert guests:
Sam Brinton, vice president of advocacy and government affairs at the Trevor Project, and Sharita Gruberg, vice president of the LGBTQ Research and Communications Project at the Center for American Progress.
