Enough pandering and profiting off Pride - Episode 485 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley
Manage episode 421364503 series 3084244
The world is still reacting to the Donald Trump hush-money verdict. Jeremy Bradley shares his thoughts as an "outsider" (Canadian) while the world watched on. JB talks about how everything related to American politics is a spectacle and why he thought there would be riots and burning buildings across the U.S. on Thursday night. Later, Pride month is about to kick off and JB shares his opinion about big corporations profiting off the LGBTQ community. He also talks about how it used to be the GLB community, then LGB community, then LGBT community, then LGBTQ community -- and now several other variations to include numbers and characters. Is the changing meaning of "Pride" a good thing or has its original message been lost? (Remember a few years ago when New York City's Pride parade didn't even have a gay man as a marshal but every other diversity box was checked?)
