While queer rights have leapt forward over the past decade, we are currently once again facing multiple threats to our very existence. Our fight for equality remains an ongoing struggle.

Some politicians have targeted LGBTQ rights. Republicans often use fear tactics to vilify trans and queer people to motivate their voters. We must counteract these measures by voting and encouraging our friends and loved ones to vote with our rights in mind, as well. Our guest in this episode is Wesley Lawrence, the founding member of the Stonewall Democrats in El Paso. He is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and serves as the State Democratic Executive Committeeman for Congressional District 23. Wesley is also running for the City Council District 4 seat.  We talk to Wesley about national, state, and local political issues.
