ATNS: LGBTQIA+ Pride in 2023

At midnight June 1st, internet and social media codes around the world swapped basic images for ones with suddenly colorful versions of their corporate logos. The ‘gays’ awoke in the morning to choose wrath or being a demon. Which means it must be that season once again, PRIDE is here and it’s 2023. The landscape has changed vastly. Drag entertainment is at the height of professional productions while states have been legislating all over the place to reverse gains in equity over recent years.
