The Speakeasy

Be Proud

Episode Summary

It’s Pride Month and Greg and Damon are joined by Chris Cabrera, longtime industry advocate and LGBTQ+ activist. In a year where Pride feels different from previous ones, the guys discuss what it means to be an ally, what to make of this current moment where civil rights are backsliding, and how the bar community, as a longtime home for queer folks, can continue to offer comfort and space to regroup and fight back. And on Bottled in Bond, Greg and Chris talk about corporate responsibility and rainbow washing, and how big brands can do better and doing right.
