Podcast: Gloves, Glitter, and the Gracie Lou Free Bushes with Steel City Softball

Today’s Episode is sponsored by: Brianna’s Mobile Workshop! Pittsburgh’s Premier Queer Contractors.

Welcome back to Pride Matters, the QBurgh podcast that brings Pittsburgh’s queer community closer together!

In this episode, we’re shining the spotlight on the Steel City Softball League—Pittsburgh’s longest-running LGBTQ+ sports league. Commissioner Cassie Lloyd and Treasurer Bobby Angelo join us in-studio to chat about the league’s 44-year legacy, upcoming season, fabulous team names (shoutout to the Gracie Lou Free Bushes and Bottoms of the Ninth), and how joining can be a life-changing experience.

Whether you’re a seasoned player, new to the game, or just want to show up and cheer in glitter and fringe, this is your invitation to get involved!
