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!

HIP, QHIP, Hooray! – ItsAQueerThang
On this episode, we talk with Shai Chang, Fresno Trans/Queer Community Organizer, for Hmong Innovating Politics (HIP) and Queer Hmong Intersectional Pride (QHIP). We discuss the power of organizing, the excitement of the radicalized youth, and the awesome work these organizations are doing as they fight for justice and equality for the Hmong community in queer politics and spaces.
