For Mental Health Awareness Month, we feature Houston psychotherapist Guy Felder, who shares his experience with conversion therapy and his work providing affirming care for LGBTQ clients.
Our cover highlights KHOU 11 journalist Carlos Hernandez, a Pride in the Media honoree and president of the Houston chapter of NLGJA, working to strengthen LGBTQ representation in media.
We also present the 2026 Houston LGBTQ+ Pride Parade grand marshals, including honorees recognized for leadership in activism, health, history, and community service.
In recognition of AAPI Heritage Month, we profile local leaders and artists contributing to community service, cultural visibility, and creative work.
Additional coverage includes community news on LGBTQ advocacy, arts, and Houston’s role in the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.
