Sometimes, all you need to do to create colossal change is pick up the phone. Who knew?!?



This week, we’re joined by Brian Silva, the founder and executive director of The National Equality Action Team (NEAT), an organization that has as its mission to harness the unique power of LGBTQ+ people, their allies and community partners to educate and take collective action across issues in the fight for Justice. And the best part is, you all can get involved. And it’s easy!



All this and a tour of the week’s LGBTQ news with Ken including the latest (yet again) on the trans military ban, some happy news out of Utah, and some shady Trump action around the Stonewall Inn.

Gay hosts. Gay guests. Gay music. Gay topics. Rinse and repeat.

This is it, folks: our 430th and last ever episode of This Show is So Gay. And we’re going out the same way we came in a decade ago: by featuring some of our favorite voices making a difference in the world. 



First, we’re overjoyed to welcome Neda Ulaby of NPR’s Arts Desk back to the show. Neda openly shares her lust and rage as she pulls back the curtain on some of her LGBTQ-related stories this past year. We just plain adore her. 



Then, we’re thrilled to welcome communications, activism, and PR legend Cathy Renna back to the show as the final guest of our 10-year run. Cathy shares her unique perspective on how to craft a message, how to remember Edie Windsor, and how to tell your story in a way that others will hear. There’s no way we would rather end. 



And that’s what we have for you this one last time. Get out there, put on your cape, use your voice, make a difference, and remember: why be gay, when you can be SO gay?!?

1/25/18 - The FINAL Episode!!

If you ever have the opportunity to speak with one of your heroes: breathe, savor it, and don’t waste a minute! And that’s our message for you this week. 



We are honored, humbled and OVERJOYED to welcome the legendary Kate Bornstein to the show. Kate’s seminal work has blazed trails through our culture and has created and enhanced desperately needed dialogue on gender. This is a rollicking, wide-ranging interview covering everything from culture creating gender to gender-reveal parties to gender euphoria. Did we mention the part where Kate is a legend and it was just an honor to speak with her?!?



All this and some of the latest LGBTQ news including an 8-year-old who was kicked out of a soccer tournament because her hair was too short. Really and truly.

Rainbow Rewind 6.8.17 - Kate Bornstein

Whether you are using your voice or your pen, it is so important at this moment in time to be engaged to make a difference. Our guests this week show you how it’s done. 



First up, The Reverend Gil H. Caldwell and Marilyn Bennett, co-founders of Truth in Progress, stop by to chat about their new documentary “From Selma to Stonewall: Are We There Yet?” We cover everything from their incredible careers in activism to that ever-crowded intersection of faith, race and sexual orientation. Inspiring words here!



Then, we’re joined by  Lucas Grindley, editor in chief of The Advocate, to chat about what it’s like to be a journalist in this truly nutty time. Lucas gives us some tips on staying engaged, reaching an audience and getting our words out to the masses. 



All this and a brief bit of the latest LGBTQ news with Ken including Texas turmoil, Supreme Court surprises and political preparations. Download and listen in today!
