Cancelling Laramie

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Episode 180!  It is 2024 but you might have to triple check the calendar to make sure based on the targeting of communities in the World.  Jews, Palestinians, immigrants, African Americans, and, yes, the LGBTQIA+ community.  As leaders throughout the United States and the world continue to try and rollback equality, a production of a widely popular and respected play has been a latest target in Texas.The Laramie Project, a deeply affecting and important work presenting the aftermath (and long-term effects) of the community following the murder of Matthew Shepard, has gotten some folks riled up at a school in a small town in Texas.  Claiming inappropriate thematic material among other things, the School Board voted to cancel the planned production.  The students and some members of the community took matters into their own hands. What did they do and what was the result?  The Boys are spilling the tea and answering these questions as well as giving their own thoughts and perspectives on this scary and sad situation.Kicking off this week's episode Mark is discussing a recent short trip to celebrate Christmas in March and Casey has been fighting and survived to tell us about it.  Trash Talk topics this week include a running mate for RFK Jr., the City Of Kenosha was asking for hole pics, and a new target on Fani Willis.All this and recommendations (or wreck-o-mendations)??  The Boys have your seat waiting at the table for this week's kiki.  So pour yourself some fine port vintage, check your diaper, and get ready --- it's time to paint!=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Let The Boys of Painted Trash know your thoughts on this week's topics and episode!
