Jonny delves into emergent and wholly made-up conspiracy theories
that the shooter in Uvalde TX was a trans woman. He notes this
happens a lot lately as a way to deflect our attention from
meaningfully addressing gun violence while perpetuating stigmas and
scapegoats. He then reviews mixed-bag efforts to stall homophobic
and transphobic legislation from advancing. He concludes by sharing
two stories of high school graduations where students pushed back.
The end of the show shares local Pride events and opportunities in
Southern Illinois.
