This week, we’re welcoming Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report to KK&F for Episode 77. In the past months, attacks on the LGBTQ community have ramped up to create legislation that infringes upon personal safety and freedom of expression. From laws that prohibit education on LGBTQ topics in Florida classrooms to bigoted discourse smearing queer people as “groomers” conservatives who claim the mantle of anti-woke “free speech” are curtailing our basic liberties in their mission to persecute gay and transgender Americans.
With Mike, we’ll be discussing the the fervor the right has created around transgender people going about their everyday lives — and the way that this fervor recreates the tactics that conservatives have used to stigmatize gay Americans in prior generations. We’ll take a look at the latest legislation undermining LGBTQ rights in the United States, consider the history that brought our country here, and discuss what can be done to turn the tides. Paying subscribers can tune into our conversation when the video is released this Friday. The podcast will be available to everyone on Saturday, through Spotify, Pandora, Apple Podcasts, and more.

While the Jimmy Dores of the world become aggressively worse and move to the dustbin of RW conspiracy and ego nonsense, Mikes Humanist report never compromises. Without Mike we'd all be in the dark on a lot of important issues beyond LGBT ones. He's a one man Secular Talk and Breaking points all rolled into one - COMPLETELY reliable
I have been dying to see Mike on your show for a long time. I’m so glad y’all are still friends.
