About this listen

 On the anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting, we reflect on the legacy of queer resistance—from medical torture disguised as treatment to the state-sanctioned violence that sparked the Stonewall Uprising. This episode uncovers the sanitized history of Pride and centers the voices so often erased: trans women of color, sex workers, street kids, and the criminalized. Before Pride was a parade, it was a rebellion led by those with nothing left to lose. Their fight wasn't for acceptance—it was for survival.
