“I thought we’d never have kids or be married, but I was happy with her and that would have to be enough. But instead, I am so grateful to the straight people of our nation who went along with letting us marry and being more open. It’s been a wonderful change in our lifetimes. I’m just astounded really, in retrospect” Helen

The Queer Family Podcast Presents: Queer News May 12, 2023

Show notes

BONUS! I’ve got a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT that I’ve been dying to share AND I’m playing an episode from another podcast I think you’ll really like. It’s called Queer News and this episode is called Change The Pattern with host Anna DeShawn. Y’all are gonna love this podcast. Give it a listen!

This is a special edition episode from the Queer News podcast.

Now you may be asking why the South? The South comprises 38% of the U.S. population but it represents over half, yes over half at 52% of all new HIV diagnoses. Let me drop another stat on you. Out of the 17 states defined as being in the South by the U.S. Census; 13 of them have HIV-Specific Criminal Laws or Statutes on the books & 11 of them have actually prosecuted people for living with HIV. HIV Criminalization is still real. I’m sharing these stats because you need to know. I didn’t know and we must change the pattern.
