Great talk with Leah. I kiiiiiinda wish y'all brought someone in with Chase, maybe more from the "Fragile View" to help explain to ye Elders why they're in a different kind of constant uproar, than say, the grittier queers of old. Like, yeah, "kids" can be annoying and know-it-all, but that's kind of their schtick. They're living in a world that has more rights/visibility, but also has opened the box on all the genders, multiple sexualities, and still tells them they have to get out the vote to go to their preferred bathroom. They're figuring it out that it's not 3 choices, it's 15, and making things up as they go to fit all these new realities, and then being dismissed by older ("tougher") gays who complain to them about having to learn too many letters or remember pronouns that begin with a Z.

Visiting some of the spaces powered by younger queers, what strikes me is often how they're working out what "inclusion" means. As a disabled person, even one way above 20, I can go to those spaces, and mention something like "access" and they've either already figured it out, or then go and figure it out. That's pretty cool.

In a lot of ways, they're pushing the envelope (or burning it to ashes), so it's kind of weird/interesting to have older queers shake their fingers at the younger queers about how they're doing Radical wrong. Like, that's the point. They're doing it different.

Yeah, the liquor board just LOVED the gays back in the day.

I sure hope your sponsors appreciate your banter during the ads, because it really does make them almost as enjoyable as the rest of the show. Lots of good info and entertainment in this one (the bit about Miller and the poem on the base of the Statue of Liberty was of particular note in my opinion), keep up the great work!
