LGBTQ+ community celebrates Pride in downtown Dayton this weekend
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations are in full swing this weekend in downtown Dayton. Thousands of people routinely attend Pride here, and some members of the community spoke with 2 NEWS about why the celebration matters to them. 'You feel loved for exactly who you are, accepted for exactly what you are. Nothing more, nothing less,' said Brandon Beck. 'I'm here for all of the people that have been marginalized in any way, that have been made to feel less than or outside of the community that we have as humans.' LIST: Pride Month events in the Miami Valley Beck shared how finding community feels. 'It feels incredible. It feels like you found your people. It feels like you're in exactly the right spot you need to be,' said Beck. 'People deserve to be loved. And to be celebrated. And to be valued. That's a culmination of all this, it's beautiful.' Pride on Fifth has offered resources for attendees all weekend, including an on-site therapist. 2 NEWS spoke with Rachel Sanabria-Brindley, a licensed counselor at Hearthstone Psychology. 'I like coming out here because it does encompass a lot of what I do at work, which is providing a safe space for people who potentially feel like they do not have a safe space,' said Sanabria-Brindley. 'You never know what might help you and if it helps you and it's safe, it's not harmful for anyone. Let's go for it.' To learn more about Dayton Pride, click here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

THE EMPIRE STRICKES BACK Reimagined with Darth Vader as the Hero — GeekTyrant
What if Darth Vader wasn't the tyrant we've all feared, but the misunderstood hero trying to save the galaxy from chaos? A new parody video amusingly reframes Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back by painting Vader as the peace-seeking savior, while Luke, Yoda, and Han are just reckless troublemakers throwing wrenches into his plans. With the tagline 'Darth Vader tries to save the galaxy, but Luke Skywalker, Yoda and Han Solo get in his way,' this clever re-edit takes one of the most iconic films in the Star Wars saga and turns it into a dramatic tale of misjudged intentions and galactic betrayal. It's a fun reminder that perspective is everything and that maybe Vader just needed better PR.
