Pride Connection Presents: The Unsilent - Voices For Human Rights

Episode Notes

This week on Pride Connection, we have produced a very special program highlighting the importance of human rights. This episode features a rich tapestry of voices from all walks of life within the membership of Blind LGBT Pride International. The focal point of this presentation is the recent decision by the American Council of the Blind's Board, which chose to remain neutral on the matter of supporting BPI's Human Rights Rally. This choice has stirred a wave of concern and disappointment among us, for a multitude of reasons that we will delve into throughout the program. We hope that you will listen with an open heart and an open mind.
