The time has come the walrus said...to do your civic duty and make it f*cking count! Jules and Genesis get together to talk about one of the most important, if not the most important, election in history.  With anxieties running high about the economy, the coronavirus pandemic, systemic racism and equal rights, the ladies get together to discuss how the election will impact the LGBTQ community.  Through the serious matters they cover, you'll learn more about "The Rainbow Wave" of politicians who are many of our nation's first LGBTQ elected officials as well as what a potential second term under Trump would mean for the LGBTQ community (UGH!). They also highlight two LGBTQ politicians: Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot (D-Illinois) and Senate nominee for the 1st District of Delaware Sarah McBride.

The ladies along with Producer Leslie round out the episode with a classic game of "Who Said What: Biden vs Trump Edition." Stay tuned for resources for the upcoming election and ways you can get involved as well as a wonderful blooper to distract you from all of the existential dread we probably all are experiencing at the moment.
