Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Courtney Act will be sharing what Pride month means to her in a special edition of The Independent’s Iifestyle newsletter.
Courtney, also known as Shane Jenek, will be guest editing the Pride special of The Lifestyle Edit on Saturday 25 June.
In a sneak preview of their editor’s letter, they wrote: “Pride is a special time of year when people like me get asked to contribute to Pride specials like this. And maybe somewhere someone will read this and understand themselves or someone they know a little bit better.”
Previously announcing The Lifestyle Edit’s Pride Special, deputy lifestyle editor Laura Hampson, said: “It’s been a busy few weeks for The Independent’s Lifestyle desk. As well as leading coverage for the Queen’s platinum jubilee (and loving Prince Louis’ antics just as much as everyone else), June sees the return of Love Island and Pride month.
“Throughout the month we’ll be taking a look back at the history of the annual parade, as well as showcasing some of the best images from parades of Pride’s past.
“We’ll also be sharing some thought-provoking features and opinion pieces on LGBT+ issues, all of which we will be sharing through our weekly newsletter.”
In late May, The Independent was announced as the official publishing partner of Pride in London. The parade, which is taking place in the capital on 2 July, later announced that this year’s theme will be #AllOurPride.
The theme to celebrate Pride in London’s 50th anniversary year will commemorate key historical events which have improved diversity across the UK over the last five decades.
The Lifestyle Edit is a weekly newsletter that goes out every Wednesday. This one-off Pride newsletter edited by Courtney will highlight all of the best Pride-related stories and features we’ve published this month.
