Eye on Pride Month

The LGBT Pride Month is held in June. It usually includes a variety of events, some big, some small, but all are inclusive and include a level of interaction with members of the community. You can imagine that COVID-19 changed those plans this year. Among the changes, Dallas Pride organizers are holding a virtual celebration July 25-26, and Pride Houston 2020 has been moved to the fall, Other more life-changing deviations involve how state-wide organizations that assist members of the LGBT community in regards to counseling, emergency pantry services, addiction and recovery services, and more. Here to talk about the impact the coronavirus is having on caregiving and the LGBT community in Texas is Richard Gamez with the Montrose Center in Houston. He joined podcast host Charlene Hunter James in discussing this year's events and concerns.
