    Happy Hour #132: The Animals Are Gay?!

    Happy Hour #132: The Animals Are Gay?!

    It's Pride month, and there's a lot of talk about animals and the 'natural order' by those against the LGBTQ+ community. But at its heart, this argument ignores reality, is ultimately pointless, and ignores some pretty cool stuff.

Meh

First time listening to the podcast. The conservatorship episode had good info and flowed well but the way one of the hosts laughs after practically every thing she said was so distracting. Considering the content I didn’t think it was warranted. Maybe it’s a weird habit she has but it was annoying enough not to listen again. Go back and listen you’ll notice it too

Have you ever thought...

Love listening to your podcast. Have you ever thought of doing an episode on women being paid less then men in sports? This has come up a lot in the last little while with lebron James and sue bird of the WNBA. I think it would be a perspective that we need to hear about and more aside from it being only about marketing, and why better female teams example women’s soccer don’t get the recognition even though they are better then the men’s teams.
Just a thought!
Thanks!
