A new episode in our special limited series featuring owners/staff of LGBTQ bookstores drops next week on April 15th! In our off weeks, we air a recent episode of The Gaily Show which John hosts for AM950 Radio. The Gaily Show is one of the only daily LGBTQ news and talk shows in the country.
In this Thinking Clearly, Thinking Queerly episode, attorney Dr. Tim Jon Semmerling joins us to share his experiences in GTMO as a gay-American: death-penalty-defense, working with al-Qaeda defendants charged with the crimes of 9/11, and confronting the one of the most powerful institutions in the world -- the U.S. Department of Defense. His writing shows that the Lavender Scare may not be entirely extinguished, but rather homophobia remains among the government’s worst urges today.
