Friend is a Verb with Brian Sims

WELLLLLL that is a wrap on Homophilia, at least for now. But before we go, we want you to hear this conversation with activist/CEO/Pennsylvania State Rep Brian Sims. We’re all processing the news from this week, and Brian gets real about what’s at stake, what’s ahead, and what we can do. Also: meeting a future husband at the P-Town High Tea, The Repair Shop, what makes us cry, why Sarah McBride gives us hope, coming out to a college football team, and why “teddy bear restorer” is the dream job title. To our listeners: thank you for spending an hour a week with us for the last 7-plus years. It’s been an honor. We love you.

My timing couldn’t be worse… I found the first podcast I’ve fallen in love with on the very last show. I was immediately attracted to your last episode when I say your guest Brian Sims, whom I’ve followed for years. Your show gave me a whole new perspective of Brian and how Trump’s recent win will affect marriage equality. His insights really sent shivers through my heart as the sentiments he express mirrored mine exactly. It is scary to think of what is going to happen to gays and the entire LGBTQ+ community in this country as we reverse all the things we fought so hard for. And, now having to watch as they are chipped away with such malice, cruelty, and ignorance. I especially liked how you covered the way people who voted for Trump feel so vindicated and disassociated with their actions that they believe we shouldn’t let politics come between friendships. Cudo’s for Brian when he says friend is a verb and that (paraphrasing here)… you may like me as a friend, but do not value the fundamental rights that my husband and I will lose along with many other rights of the glbtq+ community… so you are not the friend I thought you were… if you’re okay with stripping me of the rights we have fought so hard to get. Please let us know if you start a new podcast. I will be listening to all of your past episodes in the meantime!
Love your podcast!!!
