Episode description

Jonny covers several stories, good and bad, of increased queer visibility at the 2020 Olympics now going on in Tokyo, Japan. Particular focus given to New Zealand's Lauren Hubbard, Canada's Quinn, and the UK's Tom Daley. He offers a rundown of the LGBTQIA+ athletes who have won metals so far. He closes out with coverage of Pro-LGBTQIA+ legislation signed into Illinois law by Governor Pritzker last week (including decriminalizing HIV) and announces the upcoming Rainbow Camp in Du Bois, IL.
