2020-11-04 - Anticipating the Election

Produced on the Election Day but released on the day after, this episode anticipates the turmoil to come. Jonny first delves into the Trump Administration's attempts to whitewash their LGBTQ+ record and the strange phenomenon of LGBTQ Trump supporters. He then coasts through a series of good news items about the LGBTQ community that may have been eclipsed by the US elections. These include children with same sex parents performing better academically, the state department dropping law suit appeals over the citizenship of children with same sex parents, Texas abandoning its attempts to allow social workers to discriminate against LGBTQ clients, non-virtual Pride in Taiwan, and the engagement announcement of Megan Rapenoe and Sue Bird.
