The Pride story by D. Kevin McNeir was really eye-opening to some of the issues facing the LGBTQ+ community. It’s not that I was ignorant of it, but I assumed that issues such as discrimination and marginalization were somewhat a thing of the past. I guess that’s what I get for assuming. Happy Pride to all who celebrate. These celebrations are just as important now than ever before.

Building a Bridge

I really enjoyed the latest edition of The Bridge. From the photos to the stories, it was an outstanding issue. Keep up the excellent work!
