Gerry chats with Tony Valenzuela, the leader of One Institute, the longest continuously operating LGBTQ+ organization in the United States. Tony shares why LGBTQ+ folx are dangerous to social norms and constructs, why we are indispensable in society, and how our existence helps people of all backgrounds to realize their freedom - and their chains. He also talks about One Institute's Circa Festival - coming up in October throughout Metropolitan Los Angeles the entire month of October - which is the first and only Queer Histories Festival in the U.S. Plus: Tony's coming out story is one for the books - and directly connects with the crucial activism work he and One Institute are performing today.

Two of my favorite things in this world are smart comedy and great music. In my birthday month ("Virgo Season!") we're celebrating with 2 legit pioneers who've achieved ICON status in both worlds: the incredible Margaret Cho and the amazing DJ Larry Tee!
Margaret tells Gerry how she remains grounded and shares her view on self-love, growth and awareness.
*Fun Fact: Gerry appears in the beginning of Margaret's groundbreaking film, I'M THE ONE THAT I WANT, released 25 years ago this month. Catch Margaret Cho on her CHOLIGARCHY National Tour, coming soon to your city. margaretcho.com
A world class musician, producer and promoter who's worked with everyone from Charli XCX to Santigold to Scissor Sisters, DJ Larry Tee spills all the... well, tea about young life with RuPaul (and cowriting The Song), Michael Stipe and Lahoma Van Zandt, curating the Electroclash scene, Amanda Lepore's rap skills, and finding a new invigorating life via the 12 Step Recovery process.
Larry also knows what *really* went down during those Party Monster years. (Ryan Murphy, please hit him up. Tell him Gerry sent you.) https://www.discogs.com/artist/60567-Larry-Tee
If you literally wanna hear Gerry gag, press play.
