Isnt It Queer

Jonny is fresh back from the annual winter retreat of Gay Spirit Visions' winter gathering where the theme was protecting our joy while we live through a dumpster fire. Heather helps him unpack the necessity to be aware of the dumpster fire even as we choose to put our energies elsewhere. They review several of the last week's turns in the news that build the flames even as Minnesota learns to use ice against ICE. In the back half of the show they turn to a disturbing trend in declining support for LGBTQ+ rights, including marriage equality, even among younger members of the population. They explore various factors that might have caused it and recent trends in popular culture that give them hope declining support is more of a temporary dip than the edge of a cliff.
