Twin Cities Pride Amplified
Saturdays 3-4 PM
Twin Cities Pride Amplified is a program dedicated to all things LGBTQIA+ community, both here in the Twin Cities area, and beyond. Hosted by TC Pride’s Executive Director Andi Otto and Executive Assistant Rina Heisel, no topic is off limits as we discuss queer rights, culture, health, and events taking place around the metro area. Pride is more than just a weekend in June; the LGBTQIA+ community deserves celebration, elevation, and support all year, so tune in to stay up-to-date on the latest community and TC Pride news. Allies are always encouraged to tune in!
This week we dive into one of the most complex conversations within the queer community: The intersection of religion and LGBTQIA identity. Andi and Rina are joined by long time Twin Cities Pride supporter and volunteer Michelle Gunderson, who believes there is room at the table for everyone.
