Podcast: Pride at the Polls! Steel City Stonewall Democrats on Queer Power in Local Politics

It’s election season, and Pride still matters! In this episode of the QBurgh podcast, host Jeff Freedman is joined by Ian Price, President of the Steel City Stonewall Democrats, to break down the critical races shaping Allegheny County and beyond. From judicial retentions to queer candidates running for local office, Ian gives us the tea on endorsements, the power of queer visibility in politics, and why voting in every election, not just the big ones, is vital to protecting LGBTQ+ rights in Pennsylvania.

PLUS: Cameos from local candidates, voter resources, and an inside look at what it really means to vet candidates from a queer lens.

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