2022-07-06 Boys and Oil

Jonny interviews author Taylor Brorby about his memoir, "Boys and
Oil," which explores his life growing up gay on the plains of North
Dakota and becoming, among other things, an environmental advocate
for those fragile ecosystems. In the back half of the show, Jonny
reviews some of the ways the SCOTUS Dobbs decision is already being
mobilized in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and calls for language and
gestures of unity rather than division in how we push back. On
notice: the biological-determinism rhetoric of celebrities like
Macy Gray and Bette Midler this week. Jonny also shares information
about upcoming events of interest to the LGBTQ Community in
Southern Illinois.

Note: Apologies to Taylor Brorby for mispronouncing his name in the
intro and not catching it until the show was uploaded for
broadcast. I do better in the interview. (It's Brorby, not Brobry!)
