June is here, and the world is covered in rainbows once again. Our hosts take some time to reflect on the institution that Pride has become in our culture, and explore our own ambivalence about Pride — the joy and the cynicism. What is the relationship between Pride and Queer film festivals in the cities we serve? What happens when Queer community organizations need to compete with each other for corporate dollars? What does it mean for our community to be so heavily marketed to?

ALSO: We share what films embody the spirit of Pride for us, and make some recommendations for inspiring, feel-good, or fiery Pride pics to watch this month!
