Description

We veer away from our usual fair, slightly, and discuss the heinous cruelty of gay conversion therapy and several interrelated issues concerning American Christianity, homophobia, class-based analysis, cultural warfare, and more. We used the new Streaming Service documentary Pray Away as a rough guide for the discussion.

General Recommendations

• JD's Recommendation: Slay the Spire
