Happy Hour 218 - The Fight for Pride: How Community Keeps Us Going

Happy Pride Month! Digital Associate Haley Smith is joined by Avery Belyeu of the Montrose Center and Miriam Laeky of Equality Texas for a Pride Month conversation that centers hope, solidarity, and the power of community. As queer and trans Texans face unprecedented legislative attacks, this episode shifts the spotlight to the people leading the fight for equality across the state.  From unpacking the latest legal challenges to sharing real-world strategies for community-building and sustainability, this episode is a reminder that joy is resistance — and that coming together is about more than just surviving, it's about creating something worth fighting for.Learn more about the Montrose Center: https://montrosecenter.org/.Learn more about Equality Texas: https://equalitytexas.org/.Thanks for listening!
