In this issue of David, we celebrate Pride and Independence! But how do we celebrate Independence Day when it sometimes feels like the country isn't celebrating us? In this issue, we discuss if perhaps the answer lies in remembering that the story of American independence has never been a finished one. It has always been a work in progress. We also have an exclusive with Lady Bunny, who will take the City Winery stage on July 7 with her new show, Bunny Butchers Broadway! Her outrageous new musical comedy extravaganza takes a knife—and a microphone—to some of Broadway's most beloved classics. And in this edition of the Body Manual, Dr. Zach LaVigne discusses just how dramatic your shoulders are not just as a posture indicator but also as a physical response to stress and pain in your day-to-day life. That and so much more in the issue of David.
