EP 916 | The Personal Is Political Pt. 3
Damon is curious – how do anti-LGBTQ+ laws impact the Black Queer community, and what’s being done to fight back?
In this final episode of our 3-part mini-series, Damon is joined by Dr. David Johns, CEO & Executive Director of the National Black Justice Coalition, Tabytha Gonzalez, Human Rights Specialist for the NYC Commission on Human Rights, and Olivia Lux, drag artist, actor, singer, and musician. Together, they dive into the legislative battles that disproportionately affect the Queer community, especially Black and Brown folx. From anti-trans laws to attacks on drag performances, we discuss how these harmful measures are shaping the political landscape—and what Black Queer leaders are doing to make their voices heard.
As we close out the series, we look at how personal experiences often drive political action and explore what political issue hits closest to home for our guests.
We know a lot, but we don’t know it all, so join the conversation on social and let us know your thoughts.
