On this episode of It’s A Queer Thang, we interview Carole Goldsmith, chancellor of the State Center Community College District, about education in America and her queer history. 

Chris and James talk sex education and the future of gender affirming care for youth in California. We also dive into the cognitive dissonance embedded in our nation, from religion to politics. 

Then we look at the most popular pets in America, mixed with our memories and stories.
