Police & The LGBTQ+ Community (June 14th, 2025)

On this BONUS Pride episode, we talk about the relationship between police and the LGBTQ+ community. We touch on the LA riots, No Kings Day, Fresno Pride, and how we get past our history of police violence against our community.

We have an interview with Matthew Couto, the Fresno Police LGBTQ Liaison, as well as a statement from Jess Fitzpatrick of Gender Alchemy, and we share the statement from Garry Bredefeld of the Fresno County Department of Supervisors about the County outreach during the Pride parade.
