EQUAL: To Be Or Not To Be (June 21st 2026)

On this episode, we welcome Simon Biasell (pastor of The Big Red Church), Tracie Cisneros, and Bryan Esparza. Simon discusses a recent act of vandalism and the church’s mission in the community. Tracie discusses the recent Fresno County Board of Supervisors meeting where Garry Bredefeld introduced his proclamation declaring June as Traditional Nuclear Family Month. And then Bryan gives us the skinny on his new LGBTQ+ nonprofit Equal Fresno, the facility they’ve acquired, and how he is working to assist other LGBTQ+ organizations in Fresno.
