Ever since Pres. Trump
and his administration have taken power, we have seen a steady assault on the
right of LGBTQ people in this country, which is why it is so important for all
of us to come together to resist these attempts to roll back the gains made in
recent years. One of the organizations
that has been on the front line of this fight for many years is PFLAG National,
which is the nation’s largest and oldest organization uniting families and
allies with LGBTQ people, and early last week they named Jaime M. Grant, Ph. D. as their new Executive Director. Dr. Grant,
is a longtime social-justice and LGBTQ activist and advocate, and will now lead
PFLAG in their continuing fight for Queer community and their families in the
age of Trump and she joins me on the show today to talk all about the work that
PFLAG is doing to educate, engage, and empower LGBTQ people, their families and
a new generation of allies.
Since we last spoke
with Mark Joseph Stern of Slate last week a lot has happened, from
a federal court ruling against the Trump administration’s latest attempt to
punish ‘sanctuary cities’ to the Supreme Court blocking two rulings by a
federal district court that would have required Texas to redraw its state and
federal congressional districts. Mark
returns to the show today to talk all about these issues and so much more.
