WARNING: This episode discusses sensitive topics including violence and hate crimes.

As Pride Month concludes, we're diving deep beyond the rainbow flags into the shocking realities of the LGBTQIA+ fight for freedom. 🚨 You think you know Pride? Think again.

Join David, Susie, and special guest Jenny from @UnholierThanThouPodcast for an urgent conversation that exposes the horrifying "GAY PANIC" DEFENSE – a legal loophole that has allowed attackers to blame victims for their own brutal assaults. We're not holding back.

In this powerful episode, we confront the chilling details of how this defense played out in cases like:

• Matthew Shepard: The iconic murder that shook a nation and became a rallying cry for LGBTQ+ rights.
• Robert Miller: The shocking case where a "gay panic" argument led to a drastically reduced charge.
• Terrance Houser: Another infuriating example of how this defense shifts blame onto victims.

We'll share the resilience that emerged from these brutal injustices, including the profound impact statement from Matthew Shepard's father, Dennis Shepard, and the surprising acts of compassion from church leaders that defied hate.

This isn't just history; it's a critical look at ongoing prejudice, the power of advocacy, and why understanding these dark chapters is essential for true progress. Don't miss this raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful discussion about love, kindness, and standing up against hate.
