Jonny and Heather offer a brief recap of their Pride on the Strip, Carbondale PrideFest experiences before moving on to other festive events that happened this weekend. One such event on the White House lawn (next to the slimy green reflecting pool!) demonstrated how our current administration has normalized misgendering as a political insult. They contemplate that moment and point out other similar instances that have occured recently. In the back half of the show, they examine some results from recent primary elections that demonstrate how the GOP still clings to queer and trans as a distraction, even though it isn't really working that well. Meanwhile, certain Democrats are demonstrating how queer and trans can be included in pragmatic and progressive policies and campaign agendas with significant advantage. They find evidence of hope in both the failures and the successes.
