Trump is openly threatening free speech — from suspending Jimmy Kimmel to suggesting TV licenses be revoked for criticizing him, and even calling Pride flags “domestic terrorism.” In this emotional episode, I dig into how dangerous this all is, share my own story of being gay-bashed, and reflect on why Pride matters now more than ever.
Plus: listener calls about morality without God, resentment vs. gratitude, irrational fears, and why community still gives me hope.
