Read

Watch:

Discuss

  • Notice rainbow-washing in ads and shopping aisles.
    Talk about which companies and organizations support LGBTQiA2S+ people year-round, and which stick rainbows on things once a year to sell more rubbish.
  • Discuss the able/thin/whitewashing of LGBTQiA2S+ history and heroes.
    Notice which books and shows are okay with portraying the history of Pride, but only when focusing on white, thin, able-bodied, etc. heroes.
  • Discuss LGBTQiA2S+ history before Stonewall.
    How has settler-colonialism narrowed our understanding of gender and sexuality? Is Pride something new, or is it something we’re reclaiming?
