It's June, babies! And that means it's Pride Month!

In this episode, I chat with two bisexual/pansexual non-binary high school students about their experiences being LGBTQ. We start off with Logan, who talks about their journey to understand their gender identity and how the school only has gender-neutral bathrooms on the first floor (which is really inconvenient if you gotta go two floors up). Later, Lew discusses their story of being non-binary, changing their name, and the importance of Pride Month. After the interviews, I recap on LGBTQ+ history, ramble about the commodification of Pride, and so on.

While researching for this episode, I realized how lucky we are to live in this time period specifically. The U.S. and the world was a dangerous place for LGBTQ+ people in the past, even just a decade ago - it makes you grateful for the people who had it the hardest.
Also, I added music! Progress!
Hope you all learn something new from this episode :)
