Last year, the Yakima City Council made a landmark decision by passing a proclamation to designate the month of June as LGBTQ+ Pride month. 

Less than a year later, the council voted to reverse that decision. 

The move was celebrated by far right religious leaders like Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk and Sean Feucht, who took to X to applaud the decision. 

And while pride celebrations defiantly went on in the city, it’s raised a lot of concerns about the ties between public officials and prominent Christian Nationalist figures. 

GUESTS: 

  • Mai Hoang - Central and Eastern Washington reporter for Cascade PBS.
  • Dominick Bonny - investigative journalist based in Wenatchee.
