It's PRIDE Month and since we are an LGBTQ+ identified and allies podcast we are dedicating all of June to 90s LGBTQ+ topics!
This week, Ally leads a review and discussion on the 1999 film The Matrix. Written and directed by the Wachowski Sisters, the Sci-Fi Action film starred Keanu Reaves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Hugo Weaving. The Wachowski Sisters, who are transgender, have discussed the film correlations to their personal experiences and for all trans people. We decided to review the film and discuss these connections and how the film is an overall metaphor for transgender experience, while sharing some personal notes as well. Plus, Andy leads a round of Do You Know It?! and Jeff rounds out the episode with a Then and Now!
We hope you enjoyed joining us all June for topics centering around the LGBTQ+ community in the 90s! Be sure to check out episodes 35 and 36 for more PRIDE episodes!

It's PRIDE Month and since we are an LGBTQ+ identified and allies podcast we are dedicating all of June to 90s LGBTQ+ topics! 
This week, Jeff leads an episode and discussion on HIV and how it was represented in the 90s. Jeff has been an HIV activist for over a decade, and with PRIDE this month, felt it was important to talk about how the world in the 90s viewed HIV and AIDS. We discuss our experiences growing up and now, talk pop culture moments that focused on HIV, and then Ally leads an episode review of season 3 episode 8 of the Real World: San Francisco. The episode primarily focused on Pedro, a cast member who contracted HIV and used his platform on MTV to educate the public. Andy then ends the episode with a Then and Now on Magic Johnson. 
Join us all June for more topics centering around the LGBTQ+ community in the 90s!

*Content warning: We briefly discuss topics of homophobia and slurs towards the gay community.
It's PRIDE Month and since we are an LGBTQ+ identified and allies podcast we are dedicating all of June to 90s LGBTQ+ topics! Up first, we discuss the monumental two part episode of the series Ellen, the Puppy Episode. The series starred comedian Ellen DeGeneres and is notable during the 90s since Ellen, the comedian, just came out as gay, but also her character in the series was the first main television character to come out as gay, paving the way for more LGBTQ+ representation in the media, and thus bringing LGBTQ+ people to America's forefront. Jeff, discusses his coming out stories and also leads a round of Do You Know It?! And Andy rounds out the episode with a Then & Now.
Join us all June for more topics centering around the LGBTQ+ community in the 90s!
