Episode 69 - The Fight for Inclusivity with Erik Adamian

On the precipice of the 2024 Election year (in the U.S.), LGBTQ & Trans rights are in the crosshairs of the alt-right, political conservatives, and hate groups alike -- both nationally and locally. In Los Angeles, the convergence of Armenian & Latino communities with the religious far right has placed queer members of both directly at the center of the storm. In this episode, Erik Adamian, president of GALAS (LGBTQ+ Armenian Society of Los Angeles) speaks about the fight over inclusive curricula in California schools; the misconceptions about what is actually being taught; and the cultural immigrant histories that lie at the heart of the opposition's fear.
