[CN: Cultural appropriation, anti-queer bigotry, police violence, racism, misogyny] On this episode, I talk about the strange case of Rachel Dolezal, the NAACP leader who is actually a white woman passing herself off as black.

[CN: Violence, anti-LGBT bigotry] Today's episode is a little different. Instead of an interview, I'm going to talk about why Pride Month matters to so many of us queer people, and why I think we've strayed from its original meaning.
