For LGBTQIA+ people, community is essential, and what is community without gathering? Episode one of our limited Pride month series, Pride of Place: Santa Barbara, explores the spaces, both physical and digital, where joy and belonging are cultivated.

Hear from community cornerstones such as Vivian Storm and Angel D’Mon, Pam Cakez, Crushbar & Tap, and @gaysantabarbara.
