Welcome back to In Service to Rainbows, where we explore the many layers of the LGBTQ+ experience with empathy, authenticity, and a touch of humor. I'm your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and today's episode is a personal one as I sit down with my old friend Bear, someone I consider to be family.
Bear is a fascinating character—he describes his sexuality as "wherever his genitals point to," lives a polyamorous life with two other humans, and was my co-host on a kink podcast and two other shows. While Bear identifies as conservative and I lean left, our ability to challenge each other's perspectives with love and understanding is what makes our bond so strong.
In this episode, we dive into the messy state of U.S. politics and its impact on immigrants, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and especially transgender people. It's a candid, insightful conversation with plenty of nuance, and I can't wait for you to hear it. Let's jump in!
