After accusations of racism and transphobia ripped apart the group that ran Philadelphia’s biggest LGBTQ celebration, a scrappy group of activists is trying to pick up the pieces. Similar reckonings are taking place at Pride organizations across the nation. What happens next in Philly is unclear. Can a group with lofty goals and little experience throwing Pride create a new event that’s equitable and lasting? Can the movement be revived — and finally get it right?
The limited-run podcast premiered May 26, 2022.
