Homo Sapiens
185: Fighting 'Don't Say Gay' | Part 1
The “Don’t say Gay” bill came into effect in Florida last Friday, meaning that teachers and schools who discuss LGBTQ+ people, history or events can now be at risk of prosecution by parents. It’s a law that rolls back the rights of queer people in the same way Thatcher’s Section 28 bill did in the UK over 30 years ago in 1988. Yes, 1988! Ever since we got wind of it, we wanted to cover the story on Homo Sapiens, and we found just the right people to talk to in Zander Moricz and Brandon Trice. Zander is the youngest public plaintiff in the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ lawsuit. He is his school’s first openly gay Class President who went viral when, despite being censored by his school, he chose an ingenious way to speak about his sexuality in his Graduation speech. Brandon Trice is an equally brilliant young lawyer working on the case. Together they are ‘seeking to stop the law in its tracks completely’ and after listening to this episode I think you’ll be fully behind them, just like I am - Chris x

10:38|A little treat for you on this blustery Friday—an extra snippet from our first episode with the brilliant Megan Crabbe. Our conversation was so great we couldn’t fit it all into the main podcast, so here’s the part you didn’t hear.Megan was one of the original trailblazers of the Body Positivity movement—calling out diet culture long before it became a trend. In this bonus clip, we talk about how she found herself at the forefront of that shift, and she shares more about her personal journey with queerness.I adore Megan. I could listen to her speak forever—hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
