Happy Pride Month, Y'all!
Coming in at the end, sorry had a lot of personal stuff going on this month and it wasn't at all my intention to talk about this at the end of Pride Month but, such is life.
Today we're talking about Edie Windsor, the lesbian icon whose 2013 court case after her wife died largely overturned the Defense of Marriage Act paving the way for the 2015 case for marriage equality.
It's a tough time out there right now for everyone, just try and love each other.
