Hi Everybody! Welcome back! It's our first pride month episode and we are so excited to tell you stories of when love conquered all! Or at least, most things. First Lexi brings you the story of the gay couple married the longest in U.S. history, the story of Jack Baker and Michael McConnell, and then Morgan brings you heartwarming animal stories from under the rainbow, starting with Roy and Silo, the gay penguins.
