In this episode we unpack the hot topic of racism in the gay community. We share experiences of overt and covert racism, how our preferences can be a way to hide behind attitudes rooted in racism, and how to overcome the conditioning that may be contributing to our preferences. We also openly share our own personal biases when it comes to our own preferences/attractions and provide some solutions on how to start taking responsibility for our unconscious biases.
Thank you to my guests Reno Winston, Mav Mehta & Edward Tsang for showing up with such courage and vulnerability to unpack such an emotionally charged topic. There will definitely be a part 2 of this podcast in the near future because there is so much to unpack and so much to learn from one another.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
