Queersplaining

I have another super important anniversary coming up. I tell the story of how Celes and I met and our first date pretty often. It was even an episode of the podcast a long time ago. But I’ve never actually featured her voice before. I wondered if she remembers things the way I do. We have a very serious disagreement on a super important point of fact. Did I ask her if she liked sausage gravy before I made it for dinner for her that night? I have receipts…

Some important stuff is happening at The United States Supreme Court on October 8th. The question: does the 1964 Civil Rights act protect LGBTQ folks from employment discrimination. Lots of folks are pretty nervous, and I am too.
