Will you choose to listen?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The site goes on to say Gonia partnering with Audubon \u201cwon\u2019t come as a surprise\u201d to anyone who\u2019s been following them, as the drag queen \u201cis an environmentalist who uses her platform to highlight issues around climate change and inclusivity in the outdoors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m genuinely so inspired by birds and together we could reach new audiences and queering the environmental space,\u201d Gonia said when asked about the partnership. \u201cCollaboration is beautiful and rare. It takes so much time and energy, but so many new things are possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so amazing to be able to highlight LGBTQ+ people,\u201d Gonia continued. \u201cBut it\u2019s a necessary step for an organization like Audubon to say, \u2018This is what it looks like to diversify this space.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Audubon email marketing manager Nick Mason said the campaign is about highlighting LGBTQ people, who he says have stayed hidden too long.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting to hear about why Pattie does what Pattie does really touched me,\u201d Mason said. \u201cThere\u2019s a long history of queer people inhabiting spaces that are hidden. That are in the dark, that are in a basement or in a club. They are wonderful, inviting spaces that we can come to own and claim and make a bright and shiny thing. But it is dark and it is hidden from the world at large.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cSo to extend a hand [to queer people] and say \u2018come outside with me\u2019 is a collective invitation to really and truly come out. You know what I\u2019m saying? That invitation is saying \u2018I don\u2019t want to restrict myself to spaces that are hidden. I want to be outside, with you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gonia agreed, saying LGBTQ individuals shouldn\u2019t always live in cities. \u201cNature can be a part of your lives as queer people. You don\u2019t have to run to a big city to find yourself!\u201d the drag queen concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Audubon Society is partnering with drag queen and \u201cintersectional environmentalist\u201d Pattie Gonia during Pride month to bring awareness to climate change, the group announced on social media.
