2024-11-06 - Dealing with the Results?

Jonny and Heather face the challenge of recording a show on a
Monday afternoon before it airs on a Wednesday morning in the first
week of November....in a very contentious and signficant election
year. Acknowledging the challenge of recording before any results
or consequences are yet known, they offer some escapes from
election anxiety and, perhaps, a harsh return to one. The review
and gush over Disney+ and the MCU's "Agatha All Along." The then
turn to reminding folks to check in on how the LGBTQ and 2S
candidates in the race, lower down the ballot and out of the likely
headlines did in the election. In the back half of the show, the
turn to Uganda and the lessons that can be taken from an African
nation that has given the death penalty to LGBTQ identities. How
the rest of Africa is treating queer refugees from Uganda and the
impacts of the policy for Uganda's economy are important lessons
for the US to attend to as we flirt with a similar degree of
regulation for queer and trans bodies.
