Tonight, Blind LGBT Pride International partners with Bold Blind Beauty to present this fascinating topic. Bold Blind Beauty is a group that strives to find the beauty of living with low or no vision.
This discussion surrounds ideas and attitudes towards LGBTQ, gender non-binary, gender fluidity and other aspects of our community.
We discuss the differences in generations on having grown up with messaging around LGBTQ community and topics.
Mr. Estes is one of BPI’s founding members and Pride Connection is thrilled to have him helming another musically themed show. Part 2 of this fascinating interview will air on Pride Connection after Convention.
Wayne has also given us some recordings of his talented playing that you will hear during this and the second half of the interview. Questions or comments for Pride Connection can be sent to [email protected]

Listen to some BPI board members share stories of coming out and gaining pride in themselves as well as community in BPI. And Celebrate Pride month with Sarah Chung, Leah Gardner and Byron Lee as they take the leap of a lifetime.
On this week’s show, Anthony Corona and Scott Marshall had the great opportunity to virtually sit down with Eric Marcus, journalist, network television producer, and author of the acclaimed book and podcast Making Gay History. We first met Eric last January when he shared with us and our listeners audio clips from his collection of over one hundred interviews of LGBQ pioneers and allies.
