Written by:
Essence and Emily continue to celebrate Pride and open episode nine with a “work wife, work overlord, work nemesis” game They then discuss research they conducted on queer icons. Essence shares facts about Marsha P. Johnson, including her “Pay It No Mind” middle initial, early gender expression, moving to New York at 18, Christian faith, activism connected to Stonewall, and co-founding STAR and STAR House with Sylvia Rivera to shelter unhoused trans youth. Emily focuses on James Obergefell and the events leading to Obergefell v. Hodges, describing how he and John Arthur sought marriage recognition in Ohio during Arthur’s ALS, their tarmac wedding in Maryland, the fight over the death certificate, and the 2015 Supreme Court decision. They reflect on bravery, education as resistance, and community. They close with their weekly R.E.P.O.R.T.
