Digest 70

Issue #70 - Monday, 30 June 2025

“Pride doesn’t end on 30 June. It lives in the choices we make and the people we uplift, every single day. Our shared values only matter when they’re put to the test, and lived out loud. So keep shining, keep showing up, and keep building spaces where everyone can thrive.”

-Matt Cameron, CEO of LGBT Great
