Slow Burn

In 1978, state Sen. John Briggs put a bold proposition on the California ballot. If it passed, the Briggs Initiative would ban gays and lesbians from working in public schools—and fuel a growing backlash against LGBTQ+ people in all corners of American life. In the ninth season of Slate’s Slow Burn, host Christina Cauterucci explores one of the most consequential civil rights battles in American history: the first-ever statewide vote on gay rights. With that fight looming, young gay activists formed a sprawling, infighting, joyous opposition; confronted the smear that they were indoctrinating kids; and came out en masse to show Briggs—and their own communities—who they really were. And when an unthinkable act of violence shocked them all, they showed the world what gay power looked like.

Eery how similar this scenario feels as others have pointed out. I found it oddly comforting to hear politicians changed their stance on Nixon instead of creating even wilder narratives and excuses.
Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas, both great champions of Black Americanism. Racism is harmful in all its forms, both white supremacy racism and affirmative action racism.
their og jingle had the number 854-2020!! love this episode! 😊
the familiarity of this is sickening......
This podcast does the issue of abortion a severe disservice by making it "both sidesable." The arguments made (including those made by the Wilkeys) are based in emotion and religion. In contrast, there is strong empirical evidence that access to reproductive healthcare corresponds to drastic improvements in socioeconomic status, health equity, and maternal mortality. I urge Slate to disregard opinions that mainstream science rejects.
I am horrified by the lack of remorse from Kiki and the guy filming on the street. You almost kill someone, but it's not your fault. It's justified to beat strangers because you got caught up in the moment. Brutal.
There's something wrong with the hosts bladder... way to many breaks.
i knew it was only a matter of time before they would mention trump, lol!!!!
my heart has been pulled from my chest. 😢
