Escaping the Rainbow Plantation
A podcast born out of love. How a book gave way to a podcast. A new form of captivity has emerged—draped in rainbows, driven by ideology, and enforced through shame. Rich Guggenheim—a gay rights activist and scientist—exposes how gender ideology hijacked the LGB movement, medicalized vulnerable children, erased same-sex attraction, and silenced dissent through blacklisting, censorship, and fear. With global evidence—from the Cass Review to the WPATH Files, and from school policies to hospital protocols—Guggenheim exposes how gender ideology has not only destabilized childhood, but also undermined the very foundation of society: the family. It has corrupted the pillars we once trusted most: Science. Medicine. Academia. Media. Government. These institutions were built to seek truth, serve the public, and protect the vulnerable. Today, they’ve become tools of indoctrination and enforcement—compelling speech, concealing data, and silencing opposition. This book is a warning—and a roadmap. A warning that if we do not resist, we risk losing the meaning of woman, the safety of children, and the integrity of our civil society. And a roadmap for how to reclaim reality, rebuild our institutions, and escape the rainbow plantation once and for all. This isn’t just about policy. It’s about truth, liberty, and the survival of the family as the cornerstone of a free society
