THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY WERE RAISED TO DO, SO THE COMPANY WAS CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT, AND I AM HAPPY TO SEE THIS. REGGIE: WE SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT KAISER PERMANENTE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PARTNERS TO REALLY SPREAD THE WORD AND PRESCRIPTIONS FOR PREP, WHICH PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM GETTING HIV , SO THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE BY KAISER PERMANENTE FOR THE LGBTQ POPULATION CANNOT REALLY BE OVERSTATED.

DRAG HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SUBVERSIVE POLITICAL THING FOR A COMMUNITY TO EXPRESS OURSELVES, BUT ALSO A WAY TO ENTERTAIN OURSELVES AND BRING JOY INTO OUR LIVES. THE FACT THAT DRAG HAS BEEN UNDER SUCH A MICROSCOPE THIS YEAR, SO MANY PEOPLE ATTACKING IT, WHERE ARE YOU ON THAT? DONNA: IT IS EASY TO ATTACK DRAG BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS AND THEY WILL PEEL US FROM THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY AND SPLIT THE COMMUNITY, AND THAT IS ONE THING WE CANNOT AFFORD TO DO. YEARS AGO, SOME GAZE SAID WE ARE NOT ALREADY FOR ALL THAT, THE ONES IN SUITS. WE NEED ALL OF US UNDER THE SAME UMBRELLA. REGGIE: WE HAVE TO REMEMBER OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO DO NOT LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO. DONNA: IN COUNTRIES. I ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT JOSÉ SAID, HE SAID, LET'S STICK TOGETHER BECAUSE UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED THEY CATCH US ONE BY ONE. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO. REGGIE: I HAVE TO SAY THAT WE HAVE BEEN THINKING, WE HAVE TO GIVE YOU YOUR FLOWERS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? DONNA: YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LEI ME? REGGIE: NO, WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU THESE FLOWERS, ROSES. WHICH MATCH YOUR OUTFIT TODAY. DONNA: THEY WILL BLEND RIGHT IN, HOW SWEET. THANK YOU. YOU ALL LOOK GREAT.

ZOE IS THE REPRESENTATIVE IN MONTANA, WHO IS SILENT, ESSENTIALLY. IT IS A PLEASURE. THIS IS DONNA SACHET. DONNA: THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. WOW. REGGIE: I HAVE A MICROPHONE TO TALK TO YOU, IT IS A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU AT SF PRIDE. >> IT IS AN HONOR TO BE HERE.

REGGIE: FOR THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH ZOE, YOU PROBABLY SAW THE HEADLINES EARLIER THIS YEAR, WHEN SHE WAS OFFICIALLY SILENCED ON THE FLOOR OF YOUR OWN STATE LEGISLATURE, WHERE YOU REPRESENT THE PEOPLE. >> WE SAW THE WAY IN WHICH EXTREMISTS ON THE RIGHT WILL UTILIZE EVERY TOOL AT THEIR DISPOSAL, INCLUDING UNDERCUTTING REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY ITSELF, WHEN PEOPLE HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE WAY THEIR BILLS HURT LGBTQ PEOPLE. REGGIE: HOW ARE THINGS IN YOUR STATE NOW? >> EVERY LETTER I WROTE TO THAT SESSION, I SIGNED IT OFF WITH PRIDE AND DETERMINATION, AND THE PEOPLE IN OUR STATE FEEL IT RIGHT NOW. WE ARE DETERMINED TO BE THIS AND THE COURTS, AND THEY ARE ALREADY LOSING IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND WE ARE FULL OF PRIDE. AND OUR PRIDE PARADE WENT OFF WITHOUT A HITCH. REGGIE: YOU MEANT TO MANY PEOPLE BUT WE SAW YOU AT THE GLAD AWARDS THIS YEAR AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE YOU THERE. ZOOEY: IT WAS A LOVELY EVENT TO SEE THE WAY MEDIA IS COMING THROUGH MORE AUTHENTICALLY, REPRESENTING PEOPLE THROUGH OUR JOINT AND DAILY EXISTENCE, AND TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE DOING THE WORK, NOT IN I REALM OF POLITICS BUT MEDIA, WHICH IS SUCH AN HONOR. REGGIE: THANK YOU FOR STOPPING TO TALK TO US, AND NOW YOU HAVE TO RUN. I HOPE YOU HAD YOUR CALISTHENICS READY TO GO. ZOOEY:ZOOEY: I WAS A DANCE INSTRUCTOR. REGGIE: A PLEASURE. ZOOEY: HAPPY PRIDE.
