Pride Connection

Please join Pride Connection, as we discuss the current role of some LGBTQ+ figures in politics. In 2018, Jared Polis was elected as Colorado’s Governor. Most recently, President Biden has appointed Pete Buttigieg as Secretary of Transportation and Rachel Levine as Assistant Secretary of Health. Polis and Buttigieg are both openly gay men, and Levine is a trans-gender woman.

These roles represent not only a celebration of diversity, but also a powerful shift in focus. …

After a much contended election, a new Administration was sworn into office this past week in our Nation.

Whichever is your political affiliation if any, we invite you to share your thoughts, feelings and, most importantly, your expectations for the following 4 years in our country.

Additionally, please note that we are no political analysts. …
