From the Bench: June 2021

Happy Pride Month, St. Pete!

We are re-printing an updated version of a story that first appeared in our June 2019 issue, Pride: More than a Parade.

This is the first time in five years of publishing that we’ve rerun a story, but we felt it was important to revisit the reasons our community celebrates Pride—especially since there is no parade this year (see calendar for Pride Festival events). We also want to take this moment to recognize how far we’ve come, and that there’s still more work to be done to make St. Pete (and beyond) equitable for all.

Happy Father’s Day (June 20th) to all you dads and dad figures! We hope you enjoy your day and, while you’re at it, grab a free pint at McArthur’s (pg. 23).

Last but certainly not least, congratulations to the class of 2021! You survived one of the most challenging school years in modern history. Hats off to all of you. May your futures be bright and pandemic-free.

Till next time,
Ashley & Tony
