April 22, 2021 Christy Powell

No one has a patent on homophobia and even the oppressed can fall victim to fear mongering and ignorance. It’s a tragedy that anyone should have to remind people that their lives matter without adding the shame and violence heaped onto the queer community.

Black Non-believer and atheist activist Kevon Cameron joins me and Rudy as we look to learn about the unique challenges of homophobia for BIPOC, plus viewer calls.

That conversation is the subject of heavy analysis via the AEN channel Atheist Vanguard, who invited me to offer some insight.
