Here is an attempt at discussing the complexities of Black Pride LGBTQ+ Festival (San Diego 2022). What preconceived notions do you come into the conversation with upon reading the title and episode description? Where do those ideas come from and why? Culture, minority, LGBTQ+, race, and ethnic topics are already very complex to begin with. Here we open the discussion to all. Think about your own personal comfort levels with cultural events of different types, are some more comfortable than others, do you understand some protocols while others feel like you're in a foreign land? Is there value? Tension? joy? Love?
