Pride, MAGA protests, and a kazoo-fueled Chappell Roan anthem — this week I tackle politics, queer joy, and why our voices still matter.
Pride is coming to my small Tennessee town, and while I’m excited to sell my art, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about potential protesters. In today’s America — where Trump and Christian Nationalists are pushing bathroom bans, rainbow crosswalk hysteria, and nonstop attacks on queer people — showing up for Pride feels both joyous and risky.
In this episode, I dig into:
I also take listener calls about finding joy when things feel hopeless, what faith looks like without God, the absurdity of rock stars thanking God for their luck, and respond to an angry message demanding to know “what rights” religion has supposedly lost.
It’s Pride, protest, heartbreak, laughter — and ultimately, a reminder that joy and community still win. Join me, your favorite "gay, liberal atheist living in the Bible Belt" and let's make sense of it all together.
