ARCHIVAL: What Does Pride Mean to You?

As we head into a new year, we’re revisiting a very special episode — and carrying those Pride vibes forward with us . This episode originally aired as the finale of our very first Pride Extravaganza , where all month long (and a little beyond) we doubled up on Queer Family goodness with incredible guests and powerful stories. For this grand finale, I asked every single Pride Extravaganza guest one simple but loaded question: What does Pride mean to you? What you’ll hear is a moving compilation — a beautiful quilt of voices reflecting on Pride as visibility, self-love, family, community, resistance, joy, responsibility, and hope. These answers will absolutely give you the feels. Let this episode be your reminder as we move forward together: Pride is every day. Stay proud of who you are. Stay proud of your differences. Stay proud of your uniqueness. And keep showing up — unapologetically. We’re here. We’re queer. We make families. And we make beautiful , intentional families. Happy Pride — always. 🌈✨ 🗂️ Archival Note This episode originally aired as Season 12, Episode 13 , closing out the show’s first-ever Pride Extravaganza .
