"...is this the year Pride becomes another “moment” we patronize, minimize or downright ignore amid a sea of urgent threats and concerns (not to mention a national election looming over every conversation)? For many in the LGBTQ+ community, this feels like a year of loathing instead of a celebration or even a protest. In 2024, whither Pride?"

Meet Ashton, a 32-year-old LGBTQ advocate, speaker and consultant who loves to hike and kayak with his dad, play guitar, and cook: “People can be incredibly mean, and I’ve faced harsh judgment just for being myself. I’ve lost friends, have worried about losing family, and about being able to pursue my dreams. But I know that there is more love in this world than hate and I just want to be able to live my life free from fear to simply be who I am.” More than 70% of Americans believe that they have never met someone who is transgender. In collaboration with GROUND Media, “Here We Are” centers transgender people and their families to share their heart-felt stories about what’s at stake for trans Americans right now, and how everyone can help to accelerate acceptance.
