Jonny and Danette discuss holiday potlucks, a recent Rainbow Cafe dinner for local Gay Straight Alliance student groups, a study that shows the number of self-identified trans people has soubled in the last five years, the impending growth of anti-LGBTQ legislation and organizations, state-level push-back against that by elected officials and businesses, and a check-in on recent LGBTQ representations in popular culture.

Don't Forget: The SI Pride holiday potluck and gift exchange is tomorrow night (Thursday, 12/15) from 7-9 at the Gaia House (913 S. Illinois Ave, Carbondale).
