00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:21.359 But it's definitely not easy in the current political insert word that we have going on. 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:31.120 Uh, and a lot of times it it feels like an endless barrage, like daily, deluge of conflama. 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:37.359 That's an old school word that we used to use for drama and conflammoration. 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:38.159 I don't know. 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:57.920 Um the conflama uh that comes out of the White House of all types of things in politics and the the the government sticking its nose where it doesn't belong and making rules and statements and thing, you know, declarations that nobody asked for, especially about trans people. 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:05.120 And so that's no that's certainly can't be a surprise uh about the attacks on the trans community coming from the White House. 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:15.439 And last week the makeup sort of White House correspondence dinner, if you remember, the last one was a hit. 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:47.039 There was um an alleged attempt on the president's life, but there was someone who they caught uh on video and also obviously in person, uh the White House Correspondence Dinner being an annual dinner that the uh the press corps, who are the journalists that cover the White House and American politics, uh, they hold every year and they invite, you know, it's a DC event, so they invite everyone, including the the president. 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.479 Um it's not really an award show for the president. 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.520 It's not supposed to be like something that uplifts the president. 00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:01.759 It's the White House and the White House in terms like in the in the terms of the White House being the people's house. 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:42.879 Uh Correspondence Dinner, where the um the uh the industry of journalism who covers political journalism will get together and they it's uh you know kind of a roast, a bit of a roast, and the president does get roasted because you know it's it's done under the guise of a free and fair press that is supposed to be able to, in a democracy and in a free country, uh not only um interrogate, uh, you know, hold the president accountable, but it's supposed to be the sort of the unofficial fourth branch of government. 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:53.039 You know, there's the judicial, there's the executive, obviously, there's the legislative, which is Congress, and then there's supposed to be the journalistic, free and fair press. 00:03:53.120 --> 00:04:20.399 That is the free press is supposed to be able to um have access uh to, you know, um pretty much anything that the people deserve to have access to, uh, including the president being able to follow along in the president, ride on the president's plane, um, and also criticize the president, hold them accountable, ask questions, gain access to important information, uh, the Pentagon, all these different things. 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:39.279 And so the a free and fair press is supposed to have unfettered access and also be able to exercise freedom of the press and freedom of speech, which means that they can criticize, ask questions of, or even make fun of our world leaders, or our country's leaders, the president, without any um repercussions, without any punishments. 00:04:39.360 --> 00:05:03.519 But we know that that's not true right now uh in in many ways in our country, where the president has ejected people out of blocked and banned people, uh, the associated press being one of them from having access to the uh the White House Press Corps, which is the group of journalists that travel with the president to all of his world events. 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.040 They go on Air Force One. 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:06.959 Those are all the people asking questions. 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:15.439 So that's the the sort of scrum that you see in front of the White House when the president leaves the White House on the way to some type of a trip or going somewhere. 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.759 He always stops and answers questions. 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.759 Whenever he's getting on and off a plane, he always stops and answers questions. 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:23.519 That's the White House press corps. 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:39.199 And for years it's been a tradition that the

president, the current sitting president, will be present at that event, be made fun of, also um take a few shots by at the hands of the press, take shots at the press, you know, all in good fun, I guess. 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:50.560 And then they give out awards for journalism, you know, like people going into like wartime journalism, people who've risked their lives or maybe even lost their lives, posthumously being honored. 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.399 And so that's always been a tradition until Donald Trump, because he has such a contentious relationship with the press. 00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:02.959 He demonizes the press and says that the media is, you know, this, that, and the other, which in many ways they are. 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.240 They're certainly complicit in what's going on now. 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:13.199 Um, but he has always taken aim at them in in an obvious attempt to sort of scale back the access that they have. 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:22.639 And so that really became a a reality during his first presidency when he vowed off of the White House uh correspondence dinner. 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:27.199 Um, and this year was the first time he'd ever he'd done it. 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:48.800 Uh and they say it has a lot to do with that big moment um back in, I don't remember what year it was, where uh President Obama um was roasting President Trump or then Donald Trump um and said some you know w wild things. 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:57.759 It wasn't really, I mean it was personal, but it was making fun of him, of course, at his expense, jokes jokes at his expense, and apparently he just never got over that. 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:10.399 He was always um apparently he's still very sore, has a huge bone to pick, and wants to get revenge on President Obama, but also the the media who he says demonize him unfairly. 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:16.560 And so he has never participated in the White House Correspondence Dinner until earlier this year when he did. 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:31.360 And there was a unusual, a very suspicious incident of a person coming with a gun, basically charging the room, charging the the building, then into the area, and then eventually into the room. 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:36.319 And people, you know, um, it sort of turned into mayhem. 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.000 I don't think anyone got harmed, like shot. 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.680 Um, they arrested him, and then we haven't heard from him since. 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:45.759 There's no trial. 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.839 This always happens with the attempts on President Trump's life. 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:58.240 There's like the thing, and then he said, see, this is why we need to have a ballroom, why we need to hold the next one in the ballroom, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:09.600 It's always a reason to make a huge change to the way that we've always done things when these almost frequent uh attempts on the president's

life. 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:18.800 And so we haven't heard anything, but they decided to have another one because it got stopped very early on the attempt, the appearance, the show happened very early on. 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:26.959 And so they decided to hold it again so that these journalists could s receive their accolades that they were supposed to be awarded. 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:33.039 Um, and so here we are at this week's uh correspondence dinner. 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:39.519 And, you know, I'm sure that President Trump will always find a way to make it all about himself. 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:47.679 Uh and surprise, surprise, he always turns it into such a thing. 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:55.440 Um, anyway, uh they held the dinner last Friday, and Donald Trump tried to be funny and clever and smart. 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.320 Quite an accomplishment if he's able to achieve any of those things. 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:01.759 But why are we even bringing this up? 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:05.759 Because, you know, they could leave well enough alone. 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:35.519 He had to continue uh with his hate speech against trans people, of course, using the opportunity to not highlight the wonderful work and efforts of the journalists who keep this, uh who are supposed to, the corporate, very corporate, pr bought and sold journalists who are supposed to keep um, you know, uh the president's office honest and transparent. 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:43.600 Um but anyway, uh he decided to poke fun at Caitlin Collins. 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:51.279 He's constantly really dogging on w female journalists, women who are journalists. 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.200 He does he doesn't respect them. 00:09:53.279 --> 00:10:04.159 He's always talking about how they look, whether they're pretty or not, why they are um, you know, why aren't they smiling, the look on their face, all these different things. 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:13.360 Um, and so he never um he all he never has really many nice things to say about these ladies. 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:23.279 And if he does say anything nice about a female, if he does say something nice about a female journalist, then it's usually about how s how nice they treat him and how pretty they are. 00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:24.639 Like that's usually what it is. 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.399 He's constantly dogging on female journalists, that's the point. 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:41.039 And so at the White House correspondence dinner um this year on July 24, 2026, he made two remarks uh referencing Dilla Mulvaney um complaining about Caitlin Collins. 00:10:41.120 --> 00:11:29.200 Um basically, according to the Washington Post, because I didn't really watch this, he basically said that, you know, in his monologue addressing um Caitlin Collins, who used to be very uh conservative and quite still, uh, he was addressing Caitlin Collins, sort of like contextualizing her career and talking about the highlights and maybe even the low moments of her career, but decided to put a jab at her and say he had once basically mixed her up with Dilla Mulvaney because he thought that she uh he mistook her for the for Dilla Mulvaney on the cover of a Bud Light can, remarking on how Caitlin Collins has also had a career uh highlight in modeling for beer cans. 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:35.679 And the joke is that she wasn't on a beer can, that was Dilla Mulvaney. 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.919 Oh, you mistook Caitlin Collins for Dilla Mulvaney. 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:51.360 Oh, you know, so she's not as attractive as pre President Trump will constantly turn around and talk talk about how she looks like she's apparently an attractive young woman. 00:11:51.600 --> 00:12:02.320 Listen, the president will never fail or never pass up a moment to attack the trans community, even when it's not really that advantageous for him to do. 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:08.559 I don't really know how what type of political capital or even social capital this bought him. 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:14.240 I don't know if anybody was walking out of there saying, wow, I didn't think President Trump was that funny. 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:16.879 Like nobody ran out of there saying that. 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:22.960 If anything, it seemed like he left all of his supporters scratching their heads. 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:38.080 And so it is a shame that our president decides to throw US citizens who are, or just human beings, under the bus by making fun of them, making fun of their appearance, remarking on their appearance and things like things like that. 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:40.240 But we've seen how he treats journalists. 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:56.480 He, you know, was remarking on another journalist who might have had um who might have been disabled in some way or had uh condition, maybe a palsy, I don't remember, when he was, you know, talking about this journalist and sort of mocking their physical attributes, which had nothing to do with their skill as a journalist. 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.120 And so this is the same old, same old stuff from this tired president. 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:26.080 Um, but it is a shame to see him throw somebody like Dylan Mulvaney under the bus, someone who has had so much attention uh brought on her, of course, in light of the Bud Light debacle, some people might call it a scandal, where Dylan Mulvaney was hired uh uh as a sort of spokesperson, basically an influencer to hawk Bud Light on her channel of 10 million or more. 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.399 That Bud Light obviously made the decision. 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:40.399 They wanted to clearly hire Dylan Mulvaney to to promote the beer, and they I they must have sent a few sample test cans of the beer with her face on it. 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:50.240 Of course, it didn't mean that they overhauled the entire company and and every like you know worldwide release of her face on every can in America. 00:13:50.399 -->

00:13:55.600 Um, but her face was on a couple of cans that she put on her desk and then was talking. 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.240 And this was a huge backlash. 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.080 I'm sure that you heard about it. 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:12.159 Um anyway, so Dilla Mulvaney, you know, he says that Dilla Mulvaney cost Bud Light$35 billion in a market cap, you know. 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.240 And I just I'm thinking about this. 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:35.440 This is wild that in this moment at an event that's supposed to be highlighting the work of journalists who sometimes risk their lives and many of whom go to painstaking efforts to investigate and you know, do all the things that journalism would traditionally call for. 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:47.600 And the president in in their sort of presence is deciding to attack one of them and then throw a trans person under the bus along with Bud Light. 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.320 Now, I don't drink beer and I don't really care. 00:14:51.600 --> 00:15:11.200 But the fact that this president of the United States, who's anti-socialist, anti-communist, apparently pro obviously pro-capitalist, is going to attack an all-American beer brand, making sure that they lose even more money. 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.080 Isn't that something? 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:18.240 Yeah. 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:29.679 I don't know how great he thinks he's making America by dragging not only Americans, but American businesses, raking them across the coals. 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.559 And so I just think that is kind of tired. 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:37.600 But I'm also not shocked because that's our president. 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:38.399 Yeah. 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.200 I don't really have too much more to say on that. 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:51.039 I really do think that if you are in Michigan right now, or if you're in Minnesota, um, please keep your eyes peeled for some of the progressive candidates that are running. 00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.240 This week is to next week. 00:15:54.399 --> 00:16:00.000 Well, this basically this month is um the start, the the lead-in to the midterms. 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.320 A lot uh there are a lot of congressional and senate races that are happening. 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:10.000 Race! Um uh I have my eyes on Michigan, the state of Michigan. 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:16.879 Uh Abdul Al-Sayed uh is going up against uh Haley Stevens, who is a corporate darling. 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.519 Uh, and they've had a couple of debates. 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:27.840 That uh I think the eighth is their primary ahead of the general in November for the midterms. 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:34.799 And then uh in Minnesota, um Omar Fatah, you should check him out. 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:43.120 He's kind of an up-and-comer, and he lost his seat, uh, but he is such he seems like a great candidate. 00:16:43.360 --> 00:17:08.720 These are all people who are not necessarily socialists, but are

100% running on at least three things, which is money out of politics, Medicare for all, and just making things more affordable across the board, like ending Citizens United and ending um uh stock buybacks, and you know, there's a few others, but those two pieces are super major. 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:17.359 So um, you know, think about your life and then think about how much better it would be if you had more money in your pocket and it wasn't being sent overseas for genocide. 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:27.759 And then listen to the politician that is saying that they want to actually do those things specifically and are not taking money from corporations. 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.759 Um, yeah, that's that. 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:37.440 Anyway, uh Dilla Mulvaney had a really, really good response, and I just, you know, really admire her response. 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:54.480 I cannot even imagine what it would be like to be called out by the president and sort of um attacked by the president and you know brought into the attention and the sort of crosshairs of his supporters, but Dylan handled it with grace. 00:17:54.559 --> 00:18:00.480 He did post out, he doubled down this week after receiving some criticism from I don't know who was shocked. 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:02.480 Um, but he did double down this week. 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:09.359 And then he, you know, posted this picture of Dylan Mulvaney's head on Caitlin Collins' body, which is so bizarre. 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:10.559 Why do you need to do that? 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:12.640 They're probably about the same size. 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.319 You know, that's my thought. 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:16.079 I don't know, it doesn't really matter. 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:20.400 Um, but then Dilla Mulvaney had the opportunity to have her response. 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:21.839 And here's a clip of her response. 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:23.119 This is what she said. 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:24.799 Hi, is this a good time? 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:33.599 Well, it's definitely an interesting time because my name is Dilla Mulvaney, and the president of the United States said my name in his speech four times on Friday night. 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:38.559 I couldn't respond right away because yesterday I had tickets to see Meg Stalter and O'Mary. 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.200 But now I think I'd like to say a little something. 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:52.559 Firstly, I would like to congratulate CNN's Caitlin Collins on her award and tell her that I'm incredibly honored to be compared to her in any way, and I hope that she keeps doing all the great work. 00:18:52.799 --> 00:19:08.240 Now, the president also brought up a video I did over three years ago, and mind you, I've been kind of flying under the radar, keeping up a pretty low profile, just like doing my little musicals, singing, dancing, and yet I am still his topic of conversation all these years later. 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.759 And it seems to

me that I might be like the one that got away for these men. 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:16.480 Like I am permanently burned into their retinas, I am microchipped into their minds. 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:22.480 And when I first heard that the president put me on his diss track, I was like, well, that's not good. 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.960 Then a few weeks ago, I would have probably been more upset about this. 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:31.599 But luckily, I was ghosted last month by a hookup who I really liked. 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:38.880 And what I realized from that experience was that I shouldn't want to be with someone who doesn't really want to be with me. 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:48.240 So maybe I shouldn't want to be professionally supported by an administration that doesn't personally support me or so many others in this country. 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:49.359 Food for thought. 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:57.279 In fact, maybe being publicly mocked and criticized by this administration is actually like the greatest compliment of all. 00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:04.000 Because it puts me in the company of some of like the most brilliant, empathetic people in our world today. 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:09.200 But I do still wonder like, why is it so important to them that I don't find success? 00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:11.680 Like, what is it that I have that they don't? 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:13.200 Oh my God. 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:14.480 Freedom. 00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.960 I am free in a way that they will never have the privilege to experience. 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.480 And they want to use their power to take away my freedom. 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:28.079 But what they don't understand is that my freedom has like zero contingency on what they can provide for me. 00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:36.400 Because my freedom is fully dependent on the moment that I acknowledged my real authentic self in every day since. 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:39.920 And sharing that with the world, it's just icing on the cake. 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:53.279 But they don't want me to be able to share that because it would mean young people realizing that if someone like me can be themselves and find success and freedom, then they can find success and freedom for themselves too. 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:55.839 So now I have some action items for us. 00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:57.119 Are you ready? 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:01.039 Number one, support trans and non-binary people. 00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:02.160 This is the time. 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:03.759 I am sounding the alarm. 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:12.559 We need you to stand up for us, vote for us, donate to our causes, hire us, and support the businesses who hire us, but most importantly, love us. 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:15.759 That is what we need more than anything right now, publicly and proudly. 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:20.000 Number two, if a young person is seeking acceptance, we are going to love them. 00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:32.559 And if you are a young person watching this, I need you to hold on to every piece of yourself tightly, because especially the parts that they are trying to make you feel guilty about or trying to scare you into abandoning. 00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:38.000 And I need you to find people who will help you carry those pieces into a kinder day. 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:38.480 Okay? 00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:39.359 Okay. 00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:45.599 And number three, when they try to judge you for your support of us, take that as the greatest compliment. 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.359 Ladies, when they tell you that you look like a trans woman, wear it like a medal. 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:57.839 Men, when they tell you that being attracted to trans women makes you gay, I want you to Hillary Duff PSA their ass so hard that they don't even know what just happened. 00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:59.680 And to the dolls, let's have each other's. 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.000 Facts and lastly to the president. 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:08.559 Thank you for reminding me that I am more powerful than I even knew. 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:13.519 And to quote my favorite recording artist, Shia Diamond, I am America. 00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:14.640 Love ya. 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:15.920 Class Act. 00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:17.359 That is a class act. 00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:22.960 That is how you respond when the president of the United States is attacking you. 00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.400 And you're not even an elected official. 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:27.599 Anyway. 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:30.640 Surprise, surprise. 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:37.519 The president will stay up all night posting, uh, trolling, all of that jazz. 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:42.079 Um oh, it's actually Caitlin Collins' face onto Dylan Mulvaney's body, forgive me. 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.759 Anyway, um, yeah. 00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:47.039 Our president. 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:56.880 I think the entire thing is a f fluffy distraction from the fact that they still haven't released some damn Epstein files. 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:08.400 And there was apparently some new drop that came out last week um with new information, and somebody who was hired to handle something with the Epstein files was then found murdered. 00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.640 Uh, it's just an investigator, I think. 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:15.440 And so, yes, we do need an escape from politics, but we can't really fully escape it. 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:31.279 So just stay engaged because when you're following the bouncing ball that they want you to choose, whoever that they is, when you're following the president's bouncing ball and paying attention to something he's saying, we need to be looking in the exact opposite direction, you know, because he is big on wanting to distract. 00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:32.799 And that's his jazz. 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.240 Um, anyway, uh, that's what is up today. 00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:37.599 That's what's happening today. 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.559 Uh, I just wanted to come through and pull that through for you. 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:42.799 Just thought that we would mention the trans community. 00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:52.880 Make sure that you are um, you know, being supportive and taking care of yourself and each other out there because it is wild out there in these political streets, darling. 00:23:53.279 --> 00:24:00.880 Uh, and I wanted to um sort of acknowledge this, the ongoing situation with this administration. 00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:08.559 Uh and remember that we are still here every other week until September, then we're back on our regular weekly schedule. 00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:12.720 Uh, on behalf of Hugh, uh I am Peppermint. 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:14.960 Make sure that you click like and subscribe. 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:17.680 And thank you so much for listening or watching. 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:23.200 And we will see you on the flip side right here next week. 00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:24.160 Bye. 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:28.000 Thank you so much for joining us today. 00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:37.039 This podcast is part of Pride House Media, hosted by us, Peppermint and Hugh, produced and edited by Josh Rosenzweig with original music composed by Nell Balavan. 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.440 If you enjoyed this episode, then don't forget to subscribe wherever you listen to your podcast. 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.559 And while you're there, leave us a rating and a review. 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:47.039 It really helps others discover the show. 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:56.000 You can stay connected and join the conversation by following us at Peppermint 247 or write to us at questions at queer101podcast.com. 00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.160 Thank you for listening, and remember, our history is your history. 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:05.119 Stay proud, stay curious, and we'll see you next time on Queer 101.
