NYC Pride Grand Marshal Peppermint on Pride, Politics, and the Fight for Trans Rights

NYC NOW | Jun 26
Performer Miss Peppermint found herself in late '90s NYC club culture, made history on RuPaul's Drag Race and Broadway, and is now one of four grand marshals at NYC Pride. She joins us to talk about the role NYC has played in her story, and what this year's Pride slogan "For All of Us" means when the T in LGBT feels under attack.
