Happy Pride! It’s a month to celebrate the beauty and diversity of love. At The Carlos Watson Show, we’ve been honored to hear guests’ stories about falling in love and finding their identity. They have helped drive home some simple truths: There is no single story for the queer community, and within the celebration of Pride, we must celebrate the intersectionalities — age, race, ethnicity, education, ability, gender identity, wealth and more — that make each story unique. Hear some of those stories this weekend for your Carlos Watson Show binge.

Last November, Sarah McBride broke barriers when she became the nation’s highest-ranking elected transgender official as a state senator in Delaware. She joined The Carlos Watson Show to share the highs and lows of coming to terms with her identity, her heart-wrenching love story and a glimpse into the future of LGBTQ representation in politics.
