Currently Queer - Ep. 35

This week J.P. hardy joins Currently Queer as a special guest!

Early voting is underway, and this episode shows why your vote matters more than ever for queer rights, trans visibility, and the future of democracy itself.

Trans Kansas candidate Avery Rowland is running with viral confidence and representation in a deep-red district while fighting back against a law that invalidates transgender IDs and how state officials confirmed that gender discrepancies cannot be used to deny anyone the right to vote.

JP Hard gives us insight on Speaker Laurie Jinkins warning that so-called trans sports bans don’t just target trans girls! Discussion on how one ballot measure can quietly force schools to out LGBTQ students, hand private records to abusive parents, and turn classrooms into hostile spaces for LGBTQ students.

Dives into LGTBQ history of Obergefell v. Hodges and why same-sex marriage remains a foundational civil rights victory, not just a headline from 2015. JP adds his personal perspective from a Florida case involving Arlene Goldberg and the fight to have a marriage recognized after a spouse’s death.
