We have a sound board that worked in 2024 but not for Rock the Pride 2025. We are looking for someone who can diagnose and/or repair it for us. It is a Peavey XR 1212 Powered Mixer. Thanks for any assistance!

For the first time, Two-Spirit people from across the state will gather on powwow grounds not as a category squeezed into binaries, but as the center of the circle. The Wisconsin Two Spirit Pow Wow marks a historic first for WI, and will be held at the Woodland Bowl on the Menominee Reservation. Non-Native people are welcome, but that openness comes with responsibility: Visitors are invited to witness and participate in with respect.

The current president’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade is killing kids ❤️‍🩹 There’s no “good” way to share this information — but it’s absolutely critical.

In conjunction with Pride Month, the Trevor Project just published The 2025 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People — a study of more than 16,000 LGBTQ+ young people ages 13-24 across the United States.

The survey found that LGBTQ+youth are often placed at heightened risk for considering and attempting su***de because of how they are mistreated and stigmatized — and the country's hostile political environment, targeting transgender and nonbinary youth in particular, plays a major role.

Key findings include:

• 36% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting su***de in the past year, including 40% of transgender and nonbinary young people.

• 1 in 10 LGBTQ+ young people attempted su***de in the past.

• 90% of LGBTQ+ young people said recent anti-LGBTQ+ laws, policies and debates caused them stress or anxiety.

• More than 1 in 3(38% transgender and nonbinary young people said recent anti-LGBTQ+ politics made them or their families consider moving to a different state.

• LGBTQ+ young people who reported living in very accepting communities attempted su***de at less than a third of the rate of those who reported living in very unaccepting communities.

This is a preventable “problem.”

We HAD a government-supporting Su***de Lifeline for the LGBTQ community.

We HAD leaders who spoke about the LGBTQ community like they were people, too.

We NEED to bring that back ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
