September 14, 2020 We Deserve Better(Featuring Shaneel Lal)
Pele has some things to get off his chest! We also feature his full interview with LGBTQI+ Activist and Co-Founder of End Conversion Therapy. Shaneel Lal (@shaneellall)

JUST BECAUSE YOU ACCEPT YOUR GAY BROTHER, it does not make you excempt from being homophobic much like having Black friends doesn’t make you anti-Racist. It means that your work begins at home to provide a safe place for the queer people in your life but extending this to the world. Speak up when people say offensive shit about gay people, not just because your brother or friend is gay but because it’s the right thing to do. We are sick of being the “exception” to your so-called values. You are no martyr.
