We kick off Pride Month with a look at the history of LGBTQIA+ representation in television. Carla from Bed, Wed, or Behead Pod, E'Shel from Liberty Diner Dish, and Tiff join Erin to discuss early depictions, harmful tropes, and the current landscape. Trigger Warnings: mentions of homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexual assault, incest, and violence against members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
