Get your Pride on with Utah Pride Center, Project Rainbow SLC, Utah Pride Days Interfaith Service. Plus, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Matt Richtel

Tonight’s lineup:

Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter and bestselling author Matt Richtel on his new book, AN ELEGANT DEFENSE: The Extraordinary New Science of the Immune System: A Tale in Four Lives. Richtel presents a cutting-edge account of scientific discoveries that promise to revolutionize the practice of medicine and improve our lives immeasurably, as told through the moving stories of four people living with life-challenging illnesses.

Exist, resist, persist—50 years after Stonewall is the theme of this year’s Utah Pride Festival. RadioACTive got a sneak peek from Rob Moolman, executive director of the Utah Pride Center, and Lucas Horns of Project Rainbow, which has staked more than 1,400 pride flags across the Wasatch Front for Pride.
