"A girl nearby laughingly responded, 'Well, you just have to do it-I mean, come on, it's Pride.' For about five minutes before our workout began, people all around me recounted their alcohol-infused Pride weekend festivities."
"I've known far too many LGBTQ+ individuals who struggled with addiction or overdosed on drugs or alcohol. Among them was a young man I worked with who died of an overdose... But each of us has an inner world more than what appears outside."
"I used to think that getting a drink -- or drunk -- was part of celebrating, well, anything. After working at a popular gay bar in West Hollywood for 11 years, alcohol-infused Pride weekend festivities were the rule rather than the exception."
"As we approach National Overdose Awareness Day, it's essential to be mindful of those who struggle with addiction or who have overdosed. I would venture to say that every person in the LGBTQ+ community has known someone who has struggled with addiction."
