Crossword Puzzle Theme Synopsis

Reading from the top to the bottom of the puzzle, the LETTERs that begin (i.e. OPEN) the asterisked answers are LGBTQ.

Unlike the majority of themed crosswords, the theme answers in this puzzle aren't the longest answers in the grid. Helpfully, the theme answers are marked with asterisks, making them easy to identify. I appreciate that all of the theme letters are hyphenated, setting the LETTER OPENERS apart nicely. After filling in L-BOMB at 1-Across, I wondered if the LETTER OPENERS would spell a word. A nice "Aha!" moment occurred when I realized the LETTERs were spelling out LGBTQ – perfect for Pride month! Thank you, Emily, for this delightful puzzle.
