Join us for a conversation with Bryan Esparza from Community Link about the upcoming Fresno Rainbow Pride Parade and Festival on Saturday, June 7th in the Tower District. We talk Grand Marshalls, sponsors, festival Q&A, where you can watch live, and where to get your tickets in advance. Also, learn about the programs Community Link operates and how you can participate and support. Then there’s Community Link’s biggest fundraiser this year, the Margaret Cho show at the Tower Theater on May 31st. Kaylia has some Margaret Cho trivia, and we start to dive into words the LGBTQ+ community is reclaiming, and the best and worst US states for LGBTQ+ rights.

EQUAL – To Be Or Not To Be – ItsAQueerThang

On this episode we welcome Simon Biasell of the Big Red Church, Tracie Cisneros and Bryan Esparza. Simon talks about a recent act of vandalism against the church, as well as their mission in the community. Tracie joins Kaylia and Chris to discuss the recent Fresno County Board of Supervisors meeting where Gary Bredefeld introduced his proclamation declaring June as Traditional Nuclear Family Month. Then we talk to Bryan about his new LGBTQ+ nonprofit, Equal Fresno, plus the facility they’ve acquired and how he is working to assist other LGBTQ+ organizations in Fresno. We talk about the Fresno County Libraries and Pride, Grindr and Republicans and the struggles of our community in Fresno and the Central Valley.
