Earlier this month we sat down with VSC Education Coordinator Emilie Mitchell and two of VSC's Advocates Kevin Fox and Emily Collins to chat about what this year's Pride might look like. Now as we close out the month of June join us once again as we reflect on what has happened this month from BLM protests to Supreme Court rulings while talking about the importance of intersectionality and what Pride really means.
