Summary

We're celebrating Juneteenth and Pride this month, and now, so are you. Come learn about the gay man behind MLK Jr., The Butch Terminator, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter, the first trans woman to do a lot of things, and a trans queen who has been out and proud since the 1950s. Thank you to our Black activists, without whom, Pride would not exist.Bayard Rustin biopicStormé DeLarverie websiteAlicia Garza Lady Don't Take No podcastLaverne Cox in Clean SlateMiss Major Griffin-Gracy documentaryPoem About My Rights by June JordanEpisode 35: Trans ActivismInsta @latenightlobotomiesTik Tok @latenightlobotomiesBlueSky @lnlpodcast.bsky.socialPatreon on SpotifyPatreon.com/latenightlobotomiesA portion of your proceeds is donated to The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention and mental health organization for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer & Questioning (LGBTQ) young people, whose mission is to end suicide among LGBTQ youth.Visit https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ for more details.Election Time, Funky Brass Instrumentals for Podcasts and Quiz Games by kjartan_abel -- https://freesound.org/s/542939/ -- License: Attribution 4.0 Thanks to Fesliyan StudiosFull Audio Source ListStormé DeLarverie(34:27) Alicia Garza(43:23) Laverne Cox(58:51) Miss Major Griffin-Gracy(1:16:25) We Stand w/ LA, Outro
