COL509: Are We Selling Out?

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys engage in a conversation on a tough question: Are we as a community “selling out”? With Pride Month coming soon as well as the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall riots, the cubs ask some hard hitting questions. Have we become complacent with the recent wins in the LGBT movement and that we have started to become mainstream? Who is educating our youth of the struggles and has this lack of education affecting their engagement?

Show Topic

  • Re: COL472: Giving/Taking… Compliments
    • Woofy – I have a habit of when I get a compliment I have a compulsive need to throw one back, even if I’m not interested. Something I need to work on, to just accept the compliment with a thanks.
