Episode 8: LGBT Is Neither A Lifestyle Nor A Choice

Trigger Warnings: Ostracization Homophobia Transphobia Violence against people of the LGBT community. ~Please be a responsible listener.~ This is the sixth part of the gender and sexuality (mini-)series. Here we’re using a recording style a bit outside our norm. Listen for what is pertinent to us; it might be pertinent to you. Actually, it’s pertinent to everybody. I’m referring to systemic discrimination towards LGBTQ+ people, specifically. Even more specifically, injustice in regards to dorm rooms and employment. Don’t shy away if you’re getting a foreboding chill at the darkness of these topics; we bravely treat them, armed with smiles and sometimes anger, because that’s useful for cutting through bullsh*t.
