Happy Pride from “The Evergreen”! June is officially Pride Month, and of course, queer visibility isn’t limited to one month of the year; it’s important all the time.

Pride is about celebrating queer communities, and it’s also a chance to learn about queer history. This week, we’re revisiting two intergenerational conversations about the importance of history, and combating queer erasure with friendship and resilience.
