This week I have the distinct pleasure of being joined by one of the leaders and activists behind the Equality Act, Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, the newly minted Executive Director of the National Center for Transgender Equality. Rodrigo breaks down why the United States still needs federal legislation upholding the rights of LGBTQ people and banning discrimination against individuals based upon their sexual orientation, gender identity, or for simply being who they are. 

Before talking with Rodrigo, I get into why vaccines are just as important as ever to the fight against COVID and why we need to put shared responsibility - just every once in a while! - above our personal preferences.
