GAYBC Happy Hour | Original Date: 25 Jan 2024

Join Richie Roy and Johnny Mac on this week's GAYBC Happy Hour as they dive into current events and culture affecting the LGBTQ+ community. Their first topic explores the groundbreaking findings of a recent survey from the Public Religion Research Institute, revealing that a staggering 28% of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ+. This marks a significant increase compared to previous generations. Additionally, the study uncovers intriguing statistics, with 21% of Gen Z adults identifying as Republican and 27% identifying as white Christians—a strong indication that Gen Z is more queer than either Republican or white Christian. The hosts then turn their attention towards a controversial advertisement by TurboTax that has received criticism from One Million Moms. The ad features a male same-sex couple. Richie and Johnny analyze the backlash and share their perspectives. They also explore the power of billboards in advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. From challenging far-right politicians to promoting equality, these billboards serve as tools to raise awareness and provide a platform for the LGBTQ+ community. Tune in to GAYBC Happy Hour for all this and more, including the host's Seal of Disapproval segment and a fantastic libation in Mixology 101.
