The Cross Cut

Respect for Marriage Act / Fire Island


Listen Later

Stuck inside on these cold, dreary winter days? Well then grab your bathing suit and NOTHING ELSE and meet us on Fire Island! This adaptation of of Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice shakes things up by being set on a gay vacation in a beautiful location and also by being actually funny.

We pair this with the passage of the Respect for Marriage Act, a bill that enshrines the rights of currently married gay couples in the US, though it stops short of full equality. We'll talk about why that is, and who is responsible for the bullshit (hint: the same people as always.)

We also launched a new Substack! Find us here: thecrosscut.substack.com
