    In the Valley, we are no strangers to being the backdrop of political power wars. With frames meant to reduce our stories and humanity, we’re often made out to be these powerless one-dimensional caricatures that don’t know any better and can’t advocate for ourselves. https://www.texasobserver.org/rio-grande-valley-lgbtq-pride/
