In this episode of Chaps Out Culture, host Grant Philpott is joined by #ChapsOut guest Dave Kenealy who reflects on three powerful films based on true stories: Milk, The Matthew Shepard Story, and Boy Erased.

Each film tells the story of a gay man whose life ended tragically- through violence, prejudice, or systemic harm- yet whose stories continue to matter. Dave explores why these lives should not be forgotten, what their stories reveal about intolerance, and how tragedy can still lead to awareness, change, and progress.

This is a thoughtful conversation about legacy, injustice, parental responsibility, community, and the importance of standing up for the rights and dignity of others.
