Today on the show I share my experience of confronting the dissonance between outward displays of political support and the lived reality of LGBTQ+ individuals in my community. The prevalence of "Trump swag" created a false sense of security, while conversations with fellow LGBTQ+ people revealed shared experiences of religious-based prejudice and the ever-present threat of conversion therapy. Join me as I explore the importance of staying vigilant and active in the fight for equality, even when hate seems to be winning. The "Hands Off" rallies serve as a reminder that we must never give up, and that solidarity within the LGBTQ+ community is essential in the face of ongoing discrimination.
