LGBTQ Roundtable: Gay Boomers Face Their Future, Transgender Rights on the Line With he November Ballot, and Bay State Schools Try a New LGBTQ Themed History Curriculum. And We Celebrate Father's Day with Dads Who Do Their Daughters Hair
Description
Gay boomers face the future as LGBTQ elders, transgender rights on the line with the November ballot question, and Bay State schools try a new history curriculum exploring themes about gender and sexual minorities. It’s our LGBTQ Roundtable!
For the part of the show we call Lagniappe, that’s Creole for something extra, we celebrate Father's Day.
Fathers and sons---that’s usually the first image which comes to mind when the conversation is about fathers and their children, and multiple studies have confirmed that fathers’ positive involvement in their sons lives is critical to their emotional development. But studies also show that fathers have an equally critical role to play in their daughters’ development. And a lot of Dads are using a hairbrush and barrettes to build that special connection. We speak with dads who do their daughter’s hair in celebration of Father’s Day!
