Short Description:

Listeners are encouraged to participate in this heart-centered discussion of anti gay/lesbian/trans

Listeners are invited to participate in a heart felt discussion about the persistent virulence of homophobia. What's the hullabaloo about gay marriage? What makes homophobes explode with anger when they perceive someone as gay/lesbian/bi/trans? Why do people attack what they don't understand? How can you label the right to marry, live in peace, love whom you want, and have a job and housing as "special rights".

November 20th is Transgendered Remembrance Day--- This year marked the 10th anniversary of this day honoring and remembering people who were murdered because they were perceived as being :gender variant" that is to say, something other than a binary gender.

Patrick O’Connor, author of “The Framing of Mumia”, talked about his book and shared information that has not been presented before the publication of his book. He described part of the injustice of the trial, the lies about a so-called confession—which did not exist, and the bias of Judge Sabo. After his in depth study of Mumia’s case, O’Connor seemed convinced that Mumia will never be executed and that there is still a possibility of a new trial.
