Oh, what is happening?

Let me shut the door.

Oh, we're recording.

Hey, it's Jeffrey, and I wanted to pop in really quickly and tell you two things.

One short and one kind of medium short.

So, first of all, we are back.

This Tuesday, a brand new interview will be in her feeds, so yay to that.

And then two, I just wanted to give you

an idea of what to expect this year, what our focus is going to be. You see, when I created this

podcast five years ago, five years ago in terms of podcasts, means this was right around the fall of the

Roman Empire. And I created the show because I love our history. I think it's messy and complicated

and beautiful. And I looked around and I thought, oh my God. Some of the most important people

in LGBTQ plus history are alive today. They're alive right now. And while we've lost quite a few, I still think that's true.

You know, if we've learned anything from this moment in our time, it's that we're not going to be

here forever. Last year, we lost Larry Kramer and Jan Morris, Edie Windsor before that. Is this

getting too morbid? No, okay, so I will continue. These people, these figures from LGBTQ plus history,

past and present, or who I want to really focus on and celebrate this year. I'm talking about

people like Miss Major Griffin Gracie. She is 80 years old and an icon in the trans movement.

I'm also talking about Mark Siegel. I got to speak to him about being there at Stonewall

in 1969 the night that the uprising began. And I'm also talking about present day artists,

actors, and community leaders like Brandon Wolfe. Brandon is my age. And you'll get to hear him

speak on the podcast about being a survivor of the Pulse Massacre
