Tower Library, A Queer Bookstore, and Hot Santa (December 6th, 2024)

Books, books books! We learn about local efforts to get a library in the Tower District, a new queer-centric bookstore in Fresno’s Chinatown, and our personal picks for the best books of 2024. Plus book ban updates, what’s going on in queer lit, and we both find love… Hot Santa or Tater Tots? You decide which is yummier!

EQUAL – To Be Or Not To Be ItsAQueerThang

On this episode we welcome Simon Biasell of the Big Red Church, Tracie Cisneros and Bryan Esparza. Simon talks about a recent act of vandalism against the church, as well as their mission in the community. Tracie joins Kaylia and Chris to discuss the recent Fresno County Board of Supervisors meeting where Gary Bredefeld introduced his proclamation declaring June as Traditional Nuclear Family Month. Then we talk to Bryan about his new LGBTQ+ nonprofit, Equal Fresno, plus the facility they’ve acquired and how he is working to assist other LGBTQ+ organizations in Fresno. We talk about the Fresno County Libraries and Pride, Grindr and Republicans and the struggles of our community in Fresno and the Central Valley.
