Doug, Chris and Aaron cover another legislative rundown, with a special focus on the especially heinous, anti-trans treatment/don't say gay/bathroom bill, SB 150. We also touch on King Coal's anti-arrow darter, anti-climate action legislative agenda and Chris brings us a rare bipartisan rural healthcare victory. We then head to the campaign corner to meet trans activist Mason Chernosky, who has been all over the capitol fighting the #SlateOfHate and we hear about what we need to do next, and the importance of trans joy, at summer camp and beyond. We also have an interview with the legislature's first elected openly gay state representative, Keturah Herron, who shares her perspective on the session thus far, with a special focus on juvenile justice reform in Frankfort. FINALLY, we close out with an extensive, multi-part, critical Call to Action!
