The War on LGBTQ+ Rights

The War on LGBTQ+ Rights

As anti-gay and anti-trans politics become more mainstream, the Trevor Project has a unique perspective. They run a hotline where queer kids are talking about how Republican rhetoric is meeting reality. Bullying once thought to be confined to high schools has made its way to mainstream politics.


Guest: Sam Ames, civil rights lawyer and director of advocacy and governmental affairs at The Trevor Project.
