EP. 285 — TS285: 9th Circuit Courts, Center for American Progress, Guest Matt Baume

This week Bryan has returned from Japan with some serious jet lag, while Erin got caught in a trash tornado thanks to the Santa Ana winds. Also, the 9th Circuit Court is back at it again and overturned a California ruling which now allows employers to pay women less based on previous salaries, and a recent survey from the Center for American Progress shows that LGBTQ people are retreating back into the closet. Plus, guest Matt Baume is here to discuss Drag Con, his book “Defining Marriage”, and his podcast “The Sewers of Paris” about media that has changed the lives of gay men. Find Matt on Twitter @mattbaume or @sewersofparis for his podcast and at his website http://www.mattbaume.com
