Governor Juliana Stratton's endorsement by 50 Illinois LGBTQ leaders in her bid for the US Senate. In the back half of the show they discuss the Trump administration's attempts to distract public attention with outrage over "86 49" alleged threats. Instead of giving that drama queen response much attention, they focus on what the Trump administraion probably doesn't want us talking about this week--there is SO much!!!!

    Jonny and Heather celebrate the official debut of Tesserae, Cabondale's premier queer+ choir and the incredible turnout of community support.They then turn from the audible to the visible to discuss the queer stories this week about photo manipulation. In the back half of the show they briefly review the rotten tomato of the Trump Administration's report and advisement policies for trans youth. They then share some stories of how queers are making small changes to blend in, contrasting those survival tricks with VP "Shady" Vance's preference for "normal gays." It's a show with a slightly different take than the usual on queer visibility.

    Jonny and Heather discuss disturbing trends in the US and UK to link neurodivergence like autism and ADHD with queer and trans identity. They explore some of the productive correlations and some of the ones more likely to lead to state-sponsored suppression. In the back half of the show they examine some examples of conflict within movements, resistance and/or LGBTQ+ rights--when they can be productive and when they aren't. The two halves come together in an acknowledgment that diversity can be challenging but ultimately it is necessary.
