Pride

With this year’s Pride Month coming to an end, an Ypsilanti nonprofit has noticed the month’s impact on queer youth. WEMU’s Victoria Smith reports.

The annual event is meant to show support for the LGBTQ community during Pride Month. WEMU's Josh Hakala reports.

Ann Arbor’s LGBTQ community is celebrating the Michigan Supreme Court's decision that determined the state constitution does ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender indentity. But, as WEMU's Cathy Shafran reports, it’s just a first step.

Fifty years ago, in June 1972, the first LGBTQ+ pride celebration was held in Detroit. It was a seminal moment now captured in illustrations by Isabel Clare Paul in a comic book: "Come Out! In Detroit." Join Deb Polich on this edition of "creative:impact" to meet Isabel and also learn the important role played by Ann Arbor activists at the start of the movement.

Some Democratic Michigan lawmakers are discussing the challenges they’ve faced advocating for the LGBTQ community in the state Legislature. Colin Jackson has more.
