In this episode, we talk to Doug Greco, who is running to be the first gay Mayor of Austin, Texas. Then we dive into his book about the homophobic murder of one of his former students, an out, vibrant lesbian community member. We move on to suicide prevention month, the Reel Pride Film Festival, local events, pickle balls, and the conflict between Taylor Swift and the candidates. Enjoy!

Blake Cooper Griffin (Actor/Author) and The Story of You: A Life Rewritten – ItsAQueerThang
Chris and Kaylia interview actor and activist Blake Cooper Griffin about his debut book, The Story of You: A Life Rewritten. Part memoir, part self-help, the book discusses the importance of writing your own story, with both practical advice and personal stories about Blake's struggles and successes as an out actor who didn't let bullying or conversion therapy determine who he is.
The Story of You: A Life Rewritten is available in all the normal book places. Follow Blake on Instagram @blakecoopergriffin
