A video of students at Seattle Pacific University went viral this week when they used their moment on the graduation stage to protest the school's ban on hiring LGBTQ employees.

Also this week: We discovered just how many people started hiking during the pandemic (it turns out, many). And this weekend brings the return of the Fremont Solstice Parade, plus the first Juneteenth as a federal holiday.

We break it all down with Jas Keimig, Arts reporter at the Stranger, and UW professor of gender, women and sexuality studies Kemi Adeyemi. Check out the video of SPU students protesting at graduation: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTdTnYbjR/?k=1
