Today, I will be talking with my buddy who also happens to be the Executive Director of Spokane Pride - Matt Danielson. The Pride Festival is coming up fast - June 14th. It probably is an understatement to say that the political landscape has changed somewhat since last year.
The Pride Festival in Spokane is always a demonstration of kindness and love.There are tens of thousands who show up. I would guess that the LGBT folks are outnumbered ten to one by their non-LGBTQ friends, family members and people in the community who are just decent human beings. They are there to have a good time, show their support and exercise their human decency.
Of course, these values are under attack by the current national administration and the MAGA cultists who are unable or unwilling to escape the death cult. Gospel values, humanitarian values, moral values and good-old-fashioned decency and patriotism are derided as "woke" by these pathetic folks. If you walk the walk as a decent human being, your efforts are derided as "virtue signaling" by these unfortunate, frightened Trump cultists.
If you have never been to the Pride festival, take a listen today and hear more about what goes on. For those who have been, tune in to hear what's in store this year.
