    Sad & Confused | Episode 320

    This week, we're talking about the tragic Tucson gay bar shooting, Trump's latest anti-trans comments, and how the late, great Dolly Parton helped inspire a Texas judge to strike down the state's drag ban. Plus, Am I A Bad Queer? tackles bad texters, cheating friends, and whether your girlfriend can come on the girls' trip. Shoutouts: Kris: The Disappearers - new novel by Marlon James. The story is set in 1988, eight men in Kingston, Jamaica, begin rehearsals for a play. Though strangers to one another, they share an inescapable truth: All of them are gay. And they live in a world that refuses to accept them. One night the men are savagely beaten and one of them is killed. As their bodies heal, the survivors begin to face the hatred and contempt that the violence laid bare. Some try to ignore what happened. Others double down on retribution. Some disappear completely. In this spellbinding novel, Marlon James has written a propulsive crime story that is also a deeply human account of connection and acceptance.
