Welcome to a very special episode of Please Don’t Kick Me Out. For this episode, I interviewed Brandon & Mikayla, a young married couple that was featured on episode 2 of HBO’s “We’re Here”, featuring Bob The Drag Queen, Shangela, and Eureka O’Hara. The point of the show is to go to towns with conservative viewpoints and try to open the dialogue about equality. They are from Twin Falls, Idaho. Brandon & Mikayla work tirelessly as activists, allies, and LGBTQIA+ equality seekers in Idaho. From leaving their church upbringings to finding acceptance in gender and sexuality, their story is truly a great kickoff to pride month through my platform. We discuss being on the show, their love story, leaving religion, and more (Zelda!). I really enjoyed learning more about them, and I am proud to call them friends of mine!Love is love, and I am so thankful that I am in a position to share these beautiful stories with my listeners.

This episode is for Tony McDade, a black transgender male who lost their life unjustly by the hands of police. As my two guests deal with transgender topics and LGBTQIA+ identity, I cannot sit quietly while I feel that yet another human trying to be who they are meant to be is taken from the world too soon.
