Summary
This month, Christina, Bryan, and Brandon immerse themselves in iconography. After the usual Pride and Provocations they dig into three queer fights happening in our community including how critical we should be of queer art, authenticity of queer artists, and what we should all think about Marianne Williamson. Then we hear an interview with the late gay and lesbian rights activist Jean O’Leary thanks to our friends at the Making Gay History podcast. We close it out with the gay agenda before saying farewell to Brandon, who heads off to his new job at CNN.

| 1:21.6 | The fights are LGBTQ ancestors fought in years past. |
| 1:25.1 | And the fights that we will probably still be fighting generations |
| 1:28.2 | into the future. So we've each brought a current ongoing fight to discuss. We're going to start off |
| 1:33.5 | with that. Then we'll hear a clip from an old interview with Gino Leary, who tells the story of a |
