The Supreme Court rulings against the LGBTQAI2+ community is heartbreaking. During these dark times, it's important to remind ourselves that we still have a voice and can fight for social justice. In this episode with my lovely neighbor, Stuart Gaffney, we discuss: - Creating life unicorn adventures by quitting your jobs and traveling with your partner for 365 days without social media. - Growing up biracial and LGBTQ and the parallels between the movement for marriage equality for same-sex couples and that for interracial couples. - How to navigate being a named plaintiff in a high profile case like the California Marriage Equality Act, and what you can do in the face of darkness when popular opinion is against who you are as a person. - How vulnerable it feels to literally put your lives on the line, and how thinking "there are not enemies, only future allies" helped him maintain optimism. - Why the recent Supreme Court rulings are wrong, and what you can do to continue to fight for justice and advocate for positive change. - How to fight for justice while balancing having wonder and joy in life.
