We welcome our first guest! Journalist and fellow right-wing watcher Sam Thielman joins us to discuss the anti-lgbt laws that are inundating states and school districts across the nation, and the links between these efforts and the 2017 Nashville Statement, its authors and signatories, and the dark money groups turning Christian far right dreams into nightmarish legislative reality.

Follow Sam Thielman on twitter at https://twitter.com/samthielman, find his podcast at Young Adult Movie Ministry, and see his substack at foreverwars.substack.com. The article we discuss in this episode is At War With the Pedophile Knowers.

As always, our intro/outro music is The Dweller on the Threshold by Nihilore.
