Twin Cities Pride Amplified
Saturdays 3-4 PM
Twin Cities Pride Amplified is a program dedicated to all things LGBTQIA+ community, both here in the Twin Cities area, and beyond. Hosted by TC Pride’s Executive Director Andi Otto and Executive Assistant Rina Heisel, no topic is off limits as we discuss queer rights, culture, health, and events taking place around the metro area. Pride is more than just a weekend in June; the LGBTQIA+ community deserves celebration, elevation, and support all year, so tune in to stay up-to-date on the latest community and TC Pride news. Allies are always encouraged to tune in!
Andi Otto and Rina Heisel discuss heading out of this election season and how it’s impacting the LGBTQ community. There are ways for us to get involved in building community, and Twin Cities Pride will be a part of it!
