What does it mean to celebrate freedom in a country where so many are still fighting for it? This July 4th, HIGHKEY! welcomes legendary activist, filmmaker, and author Tourmaline for a conversation that reclaims joy, protest, and the radical legacy of Marsha P. Johnson. The hosts unpack Black queer history, trans resistance, and the messy truth about who gets remembered—and who gets erased. Tourmaline shares what she’s learned from elders like Miss Major and Marsha, and why dreaming big is not a luxury, but a survival strategy. Come for the queer history lesson, stay for the nail art, revenge fantasies, and glitter-fueled joy that fuels our fight.

“My body is an act of defiance.”

Model, author, and activist Tess Holliday joins HIGHKEY! for a raw conversation about taking up space—on her own terms. A pioneer in the body positivity movement, Tess has become one of its boldest and most influential voices, at a time when that visibility matters more than ever. Now, with her new book Take Up Space, Y’all, she’s helping the next generation step into their power and embrace exactly who they are.

What does it mean to grow up without a dad — and still want to become one? Ben, Ryan, and Yvie get raw about their relationships with masculinity, parenthood, and the fathers who raised — or failed — them. From Doja Cat’s viral fan moment to growing up queer in homes that didn’t always feel safe, the hosts reflect on forgiveness, trauma, and found family. Plus: the power of queer uncles, the idea of chosen family, and why some of us are still thinking about Bill Cosby (yikes).
