The 19th Celebrates: Pride

By The 19th News
Celebrate Pride Month with The 19th as we dive into joy and hope in LGBTQ+ communities.
The 19th Celebrates Pride event will focus on queer and trans resistance through love, advocacy, and community. One of The 19th’s LGBTQ+ reporters, Kate Sosin, will interview actor Brian Michael Smith (9-1-1: Lone Star, The L Word: Generation Q). They’ll discuss his fruitful career, the importance of representation in media, and advice he has for young queer people.
In a time when transgender people are faced with many hurdles, it’s important to also look toward the trailblazers who shed light and hope on the community’s future. Sosin and Smith remind us that there is still so much to celebrate.

About The 19th
The 19th is an independent nonprofit newsroom reporting at the intersection of gender, politics and policy. We aim to empower women, people of color and the LGBTQ+ community with the information, community and tools they need to be equal participants in our democracy. The 19th aims to level the playing field with:
Free-to-consume and free-to-republish journalism that reimagines politics and policy coverage through a gender lens
Deep-dive, evidence-based reporting that exposes gender inequity and injustice, and reveals surprising and original stories on the issues that most deeply affect our readers’ lives, from health care to the economy
A newsroom that reflects the nation’s diversity,  and is devoted to covering all people with empathy
A digital platform for civil conversations and community building, and national events that bring our readers into direct contact with their elected officials
The 19th aims to be a home for all people affected by the issues we cover. To that end, all members of our community are expected to observe our community guidelines when engaging on our website, newsletters, social channels, events or other platforms.
