Pink Patriarchy: Pride Edition: Pride in Pastels - How Queer Liberation Got Sanitized

This episode examines how corporate branding and institutional sponsorship have sanitized Pride, erasing its origins in criminalization, survival economies, and radical queer resistance. It highlights how marginalized groups—sex workers, trans people, incarcerated queer folks—are often treated as public relations liabilities rather than communities in need of protection, and argues for a return to pride as a challenge to state violence, poverty, and exclusion.
