It's Brian Merochow on WNYC. Good morning again everyone.

Coming up a little later this hour, Ellie Mastal, just this car responded for the nation.

We'll be with us to break down and more detail the affirmative action ruling from the Supreme

Court this morning, striking down Harvard's and University of North Carolina's affirmative

action and admissions policies. We'll also take your calls with your own experiences with

affirmative action or anybody who works in college admissions as we talk about this with

Ellie Mastal coming up. But first we want to wrap up while Ellie continues to pick

through this very thick decision. We want to wrap up our month-long series of segments

celebrating LGBTQ pride. We did it every Thursday this June and there were five Thursdays,

so that's a good thing. This is the fifth. We've heard from members of the LGBTQ community

about the joyous aspects of their lives, not often covered, like what gives them gender

euphoria. We hear about gender dysphoria in the news. We talked about gender euphoria on

the show. People's favorite queer media and the experience of being pregnant while not

identifying as a woman. If you miss those previous conversations you can find them at WNYC

.org. We turn now and finally turn the page to New York City's thriving LGBTQ nightlife.

This is in contrast to some other cities because there is a trend visible in the National

LGBTQ bar scene. LGBTQ bars are closing across the country, but in New York City they are

thriving. That's the headline of a recent piece for Gothamist that you may have seen penned

by Jordan Gasporé, creator and host of the Hazard and J podcast. She now joins us to talk

about New York City's thriving LGBTQ bar scene and how it compares to the rest of the

country. Join thanks very much for being here. Hello. Hi Brian, thanks for having me. I appreciate

it. Also with us to talk a little about the history of LGBTQ nightlife in New York City
