Isnt It Queer

Jonny interviews Tara Bell about a recent spate of anti-trans and anti-queer violence and protest in local public school districts, with a particular focus on what's going on in the Anna-Jonesboro school district. In addition to school systems not being in compliance with Illinois' "inclusive curriculum" mandate, these schools are insufficiently addressing the safety and human rights of their queer and trans students. In the back half of the show, Jonny talks with Michael Coleman, the Student Program Director of the SIU LGBTQ Resource Center about the events planned for the end of LGBTQ History Month, including the fabulous Night of Noise on November 3rd. We also get to learn a little more about the fabulousness that is Michael Coleman!
