From the Advocate magazine in partnership with Glad, this is LGBTQ and A.

It has now been one month since the mass shooting at the Atlanta Spas, and since then,

C-Men reports there have been at least 50 mass shootings.

That's 50 mass shootings in one month, and that number doesn't even take into account other shootings where there were only one or two victims.

So yeah, this is a crazy fucking problem to use an understatement.

And this week, I can think of no better person to hear from than

Brandon Wolf. Brandon is the survivor of the Pulse nightclub shooting, and since then has become

one of the most visible and vocal activists in our community fighting for gun reform. So on today's

episode, we're going to do things a bit differently. We're going to revisit an earlier conversation with Brandon that originally aired on the Luminary app.

Just a heads up, he does share a few details about the actual shooting at Pulse.

If you'd rather not hear that kind of thing, you can scroll ahead about five minutes.

But before we do hear that, first we're going to call Brandon up to check in

and hear what he's been doing since we last spoke. So let's do that now.

Hello? Hey, Brandon. It's Jeffrey Masters. Hey, Jeffrey. How are you? I'm okay. I think's Jeffrey. How are you?

I'm okay. I think just okay. How about you?

I'm hanging in there. You know, it is, uh, there's a lot going on. Some progress being made,

some challenges, but I'm hanging in there, thanks.

You know, you said there's a lot going on. And on the morning that we're taping this, just for context for everybody. This week,

we've been in the middle of the Derek Chauvin trial for the killing of George Floyd. A few days

ago, Dante Wright, a 20-year-old was killed at a traffic stop. Last night, a video was released of

Adam Toledo, a 13-year-old shot in Chicago. And this morning we learned about a shooting at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis.

Eight were killed there and seven were injured.
