Our Very Proud Episode

<p style="text-align:justify;">The Pride Parade has been canceled but we didn’t want to forget Pride month.  This week our focus is stories about the LGBTQ+ community. There were too many stories to choose from sadly. Nydia tells us the incredibly sad story of Gwen Araujo, a beautiful, transgender teen who was murdered after a group of men learned that she was assigned male at birth. Dana shares a similar story within the Native American community. She tells us the story of Fred “Frederica” C. Martinez Jr., a two-spirit teen who was the victim of a heinous hate crime that ended his life. (This is a very graphic and triggering episode. There's your warning.)</p> <p>For dinner, we decided to continue the pride theme and go with rainbow foods. Nydia prepared chicken kabobs with colorful peppers to represent the rainbow flag.  Dana wows us with a rainbow cheesecake that must be seen to be believed. We shared a bottle of Russian River Valley Chardonnay and it was to die for! At under $20, this is our new favorite Chardonnay! It’s perfectly refreshing for summer! </p> <p>You can find the links to the stories and food photos on:</p> <p><a href='https://winedineandstorytime.com/'>www.winedineandstorytime.com</a></p> <p>Check us out on Social too!! </p> <p><a href='https://www.facebook.com/winedineandstorytime'>https://www.facebook.com/winedineandstorytime</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/winedinestorytime/'>https://www.instagram.com/winedinestorytime/</a></p> <p><a href='https://twitter.com/WDStoryTime'>https://twitter.com/WDStoryTime</a></p> <p>or call us some time </p> <p>6093003094</p>
