This is a show about individual experience and personal identity.

There may be times when folks use identifying words or phrases that don't feel right to you.

That's part of what we're exploring here.

Please listen with an open heart, and as always, I welcome your polite, engaged feedback.

And I encourage you to continue the conversation in your own life and with your own community.

Welcome to Query.

Hey Queros, I'm here.

Two things before we start the show.

First of all, we have 64 patrons on Patreon.

But don't you want to make it 100?

Don't you want there to be 100 patrons for this show where you can do it.

You can be the change that you want to see in the world.

Just go to patreon.com slash Hey Queros.

You can sign up as a bunch of different levels and you can support a show that you really love.

Hey, I appreciate it.

Also, I know for me, I feel sad because I'm not going to be traveling this holiday season.

And for me, that's the right choice.

My family lives pretty far away.

And so I thought to myself, what could I do in case others didn't have an opportunity to travel also?

And I will be throwing a series of holiday shows.

They all benefit Dynasty typewriter.

This awesome theater here in LA.
