Police & The LGBTQ+ Community (June 14th, 2025)

Posted bykayliametcalfePosted inKMMA, QueerThangTags:, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

On this BONUS Pride episode, we talk about the relationship between police and the LGBTQ+ community. We touch on the LA riots, No Kings Day, Fresno Pride, and how we get past our history of police violence against our community.

We have an interview with Matthew Couto, the Fresno Police LGBTQ Liaison, as well as a statement from Jess Fitzpatrick of Gender Alchemy, and we share the statement from Garry Bredefeld of the Fresno County Department of Supervisors about the County outreach during the Pride parade.

South Tower Community Land Trust – ItsAQueerThang

On the latest episode of the It’s A Queer Thang Podcast, we talk to Kiel Thomas Schmidt of the South Tower Community Land Trust, a nonprofit working to add park resources, affordable housing, and community spaces in Fresno’s historic Tower District. Then Chris and Kaylia dive into the latest controversy surrounding Garry Bredefeld, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors (yes, again…) and the upcoming State of the County address. And we can’t leave this summer without discussing the polarizing topic of, you guessed it…mayonnaise!
