This Way Out celebrates Pride Month with a special look at the power of visibility, community, and resistance.
Then, This Way Out visits Los Angeles’ historic Founders Metropolitan Community Church for the unveiling of the Rainbow Liberation Steps, a permanent public art installation honoring LGBTQ+ freedom and liberation. The dedication ceremony features community leaders, activists, faith leaders, and members of the congregation reflecting on the continuing struggle for equality and inclusion.
NewsWrap reports on Colorado’s successful effort to restore its ban on conversion therapy, a federal appeals court ruling blocking the Trump administration’s transgender military ban, Pride activists marching forward in Hungary despite government opposition, and Ghana’s parliament approving a sweeping anti-LGBTQ law.
Finally, This Way Out takes to the streets of Los Angeles to ask a timely question: What would you say to someone who believes Pride is no longer relevant? The answers reveal why Pride continues to matter for LGBTQ+ people and their allies around the world.
