First Person: She’s Gay and a Republican. Is There a Place for Her in the G.O.P.?


Listen Later

This month Kara is revisiting some of her favorite episodes — usually of Sway. But today she has another show to share with you: First Person.

In this episode of the New York Times Opinion podcast, host Lulu Garcia-Navarro speaks with Jerri Ann Henry, a former leader of the Log Cabin Republicans, an outspoken group of gay conservatives. Henry used to thinkher party was moving toward accepting gay rights, but with G.O.P. legislators backing anti-L.G.T.B.Q. laws in several states and the constitutional right to same-sex marriage potentially threatened after the reversal of Roe v. Wade, she now finds herself wondering whether she still has a place in the Republican Party — or any party.
