Summary

In this powerful and timely conversation, Don Lemon sits down with Sarah Kate Ellis, President & CEO of GLAAD, to break down the state of Pride in 2025—and why this year feels different. With over 700 anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced across the country and political rhetoric reaching dangerous new heights, Sarah unpacks where this wave of hatred is coming from, how it's impacting real lives, and what needs to happen next. From broken media narratives to corporate cowardice, no topic is off-limits. If you care about justice, visibility, and fighting back, this is the interview you need to see.
