The Supreme Court rulings against the LGBTQAI2+
community is heartbreaking. During these dark times, it’s
important to remind ourselves that we still have a voice and can
fight for social justice.
In this episode with my lovely neighbor, Stuart Gaffney, we
discuss:
- Creating life unicorn adventures by quitting your jobs and
traveling with your partner for 365 days without social media.
- Growing up biracial and LGBTQ and the parallels between the movement for marriage equality for same-sex couples and that for interracial couples.
- How to navigate being a named plaintiff in a high profile case like the California Marriage Equality Act, and what you can do in the face of darkness when popular opinion is against who you are as a person.
- How vulnerable it feels to literally put your lives on the line, and how thinking “there are not enemies, only future allies” helped him maintain optimism.
- Why the recent Supreme Court rulings are wrong, and what you can do to continue to fight for justice and advocate for positive change.
- How to fight for justice while balancing having
wonder and joy in life.
